ASL 2002 - American Sign Language IV


Credits: 3

The primary goal with this course is for students to achieve a level of competency in American Sign Language (ASL). Building on ASL III, this course expands on the development of American Sign Language vocabulary and grammar, step-by-step processes, cause and effect, and the use of two- to three-character role shifts. Students engage in narration, description, argument, and hypothesis with complex topics in paragraph-length discourse related to employment, current events, matters of public and community interest, and culturally significant topics relating to the Deaf Community. Students also develop expressive and receptive skills in storytelling and dialogue and processing that is required for higher-level thinking in the field of interpreting and working with the Deaf.
