15. What is Spatial Agreement? To give directions in ASL, you need to use the signing space in front of you and particular non-manual behaviors to correlate with the actual environment. First, give general information by pointing in the direction of the place, then give specific directions, giving enough information that the listener can visualize the route or location you describe. You need to develop skills with your eyes, face and hands to show relative distance, trace the actual route to follow, and indicate direction of turns and location of landmarks. Eye Gaze / Location Agreement Conveying Distance Moderate Distance REMEMBER the examples on the Signing Naturally video? Need see it again ?
