SL1012 Intro to American Sign Language II

This is a continuation of the introductory course in American Sign Language. Through interactive and multi-sensory teaching, this course expands students’ awareness of the structural principles governing ASL and continues to help students focus on mastery of receptive and expressive skills. Students will apply linguistic features learned through in-class presentation, practice and self-study. Students will move at a deliberate pace over most of the features of the language: cherology (phonology), morphology, syntax, semantics and sign usage. Sample functions covered include giving directions, describing others, making requests, discussing family and occupations, and relating routines. As one of the course projects, students will research Deaf culture and make a class presentation. Credits: 3
