ASL 1101
This is the first course in the three course series in American Sign Language (ASL) that fulfills the GE skills category for foreign language credit. Students will develop beginning level ASL communication skills -receptive (listening) and expressive (speaking) – with vocabulary and grammar in a cultural context. American Deaf culture and history will be introduced with an emphasis on making comparisons and connections to one’s own culture. Course instruction and activities are primarily in ASL. Courses in ASL may necessitate physical contact between students and/or instructor. This contact may include demonstrating culturally appropriate behaviors and/or remediating students’ sign production.
