This is the third in a series of introductory courses in American Sign Language (ASL) emphasizing basic signs used with English context. Classwork will stress everyday communication as the centerpiece of every lesson. Topics revolve around sharing information about our environment, deaf culture, and continued instruction in ASL grammar with an emphasis on developing question and answering skills. Students learn pragmatic strategies to help maintain a conversation. In addition, a variety of interactive activities will enable students to rehearse and apply skills they have learned.
