DFST 101American Sign Language I

Catalog

As part of the American Sign Language (ASL) course sequence, ASL I is designed mainly to introduce ASL, a visual-gestural language used by the Deaf community in the United States and Canada, and, more importantly, to focus on the development of basic conversational skills, emphasizing receptive abilities. Deaf culture will be studied as it relates to the course. (CSU, UC, AVC)
