Description
This course is for students with some basic introduction to ASL and is a continuation of American Sign Language I. It is designed to develop further communicative competencies in the language beyond the basic level with emphasis on ASL grammar and deaf culture. This Level II course will build on these basic skills learned in ASL106 - American Sign Language I, maturing them through use and commitment to building a more extensive working vocabulary. The relationship between American Sign Language and the role of deaf culture as each relates to a deaf person’s sense of self-esteem and value in the larger culture of American society will be studied in great depth. Prerequisite: ASL106 or permission of instructor.
