ABSTRACT Ghanaian Sign Language (GhSL) is a developing language in the sense that not much is known about it within or outside Ghana. The fact that GhSL is closely-related to American Sign Language (ASL) means that, knowledge of ASL can help one communicate with the Ghanaian Deaf. However, there exist Ghanaian-specific signs that are not available in ASL. This paper presents the Ghanaian Interactive Sign Language (GISL) Tutor, the first computer-based tutor for GhSL designed to teach GhSL vocabulary of Ghanaian-specific signs. Ghanaians who tested the tutor during its iteration stage expressed that they want more Ghanaian signs to be available on the tutor. The purpose of the GISL Tutor is therefore to make Ghanaian-specific signs accessible to anyone interested in learning GhSL for reception and expression.
