In ASL 2, we will be taking a major step. This course is intended to build up everything learned and established in ASL 1 in order to do one thing – Hold fluent, grammatically accurate conversations. Students will expand on their sign vocabulary knowledge, dive into new intricate topics/concepts, learn how to use general signs in different ways to add clarity to their conversations, learn how to use proper grammar and enhance expressive/receptive skills through class discussions, 1:1 exchanges, and dialogue simulations. The focus that was put on deaf culture in ASL 1 will continue as well – Students will gain a greater understanding of how Deaf individuals perceive certain actions, facial expressions, and simple gestures during conversations. Getting to the point where each student is comfortably carrying conversations becomes extremely difficult to reach without doing one thing – Relying less on vocal communication and more on visual communication. The instructor will lead a large part of this course in American Sign Language. Students will also be asked to sign in for a majority of exchanges with the instructor and their classmates in order to progress further.
