This paper introduces a new framework on teaching normal adult learn sign language gestures using 3D images. The signed of finger-spelling created using 3D technique looks like a movie of a hand signing. In sign language, hand positions and finger-spelling represent meaning words. Hence I have been developing teaching material that let people learn how to using sign language. There are 25 images that represent alphabet A to Z with animated images as well. In this research project, the courseware development is using andragogy theory and cognitive theory. During this development of this courseware, I have conducted learnability testing where respondent are people randomly selected to test this courseware. As a result, about 93% of the respondents are satisfied of this courseware. From the result we can conclude that the sign language is one of important thing that people should learn. In addition learning sign language is interesting experience beside people can communicate with disable people.
