Lisa Gunter To All Instructors

Hi, my name is Lisa Gunter, and I was born deaf as a result of my mother having German measles.  My parents made the decision for me to be placed in oral education programs for most of my childhood.  Hence, I can hear well with my sole hearing aid and rely on lipreading.  At the age of 16, I learned ASL and became involved with the Deaf community, and then attended an University where I graduated with a degree in Secondary Education in 1988.

I am an ASL Instructor with 17 years of experience as a professional in a wide range of community and educational settings.  Also, I have been involved in a full-time ministry as a Deaf missionary alongside with my husband for 35 years both here in the States and in Australia where we had been working since 1998.  It was a privilege to work there in Melbourne and to earn degrees in Sign Language Education.  Through my work experience, I was able to sharpen my teaching skills and to learn how to assess sign language students with their sign reception and production skills.  My responsibilities there were not only to teach and assess, but also to create and administer sign language programs.  Currently, I am an ASL instructor at CSDHH in Greensboro where I have been the last two years as well as in my local church in Kernersville.

My interests are Sign Language Linguistics and collecting sign language dictionaries from around the world.  It has always been my passion to teach sign language to hearing people, so that they can communicate with Deaf people in the community.  I pray that the Lord will allow me to continue to do so for many years to come.
