American Sign Language I

Catalog description

In this intermediate level course, students review the grammatical features of American Sign Language (ASL) and further develop communicative functions using ASL. They learn common English idiomatic expressions, refine signing and fingerspelling skills, and increase receptivity skills. Students will observe the norms of Deaf culture in class. They may not use any voicing. Instead, all communication will be by body language and ASL vocabulary and structure.
