Several features unique to Master ASL! include:

prosodic language development via expressive narratives

Master ASL! is designed with the hearing student in mind by focusing attention on traditional trouble areas, highlighting differences between ASL and English, andmaking the cultural and linguistic uniqueness of the Deaf World accessible.
