This course is designed to introduce students to American Sign Language and Deaf Culture. Students will build their vocabulary while learning grammar basics and other linguistic features specific to ASL. Both expressive and receptive skills will be practiced regularly while students participate in “voice off” periods of class. The students will also study Deaf history and contemporary cultural norms. Some assignments will include written text and some will be recordings of the students signing. A textbook is not required for this class.

PowerPoints, websites, and other materials will be accessed via Canvas.
