This course follows Introduction to ASL/ASL 1 with the instruction of American Sign Language and Deaf Culture. Students will continue to build their vocabulary and conversational competency while utilizing grammar 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.
Placement: If a student has prior knowledge of ASL outside of Scholé Academy and wishes to screen into the program, please contact Anni Hollenbeck at [email protected].
Required Materials: Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course. These resources are listed to help inform your decision-making as you make course selections and build your course schedule. Please reach out to the instructor if you have any questions about materials.
