ASL Conversation IV. ((1 Credit))

Catalog description

Prerequisite(s): University Advanced Standing Offers intermediate/advanced ASL users opportunities to enhance their proficiency in the target language by focusing on production. Centers on discussions from a selected reading list in 'book club' form. Teaches how to improve authentic pronunciation, reduce errors in authenticity of language structure, generate thought in the target language spontaneously as a substitute for translation, and sharpen comprehension for natural conversational flow. Contrasts with all other upper division ASL courses which are more content based. Facilitates lowering the affective filter when conversing in the target language by increasing the frequency of conversational opportunities. May be repeated for a maximum of 3 credits toward graduation.
