Course Description
This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of fundamental concepts and their applications while reinforcing and developing skills essential for continued success as lifelong learners. The course will introduce students to American Sign Language with a focus on comprehension of basic communication through receptive and expressive skills. The class provides a broad range of Deaf individuals as signing role models through sign demonstration and storytelling. The class will focus on 43 basic handshapes representing the English alphabet, numbers, and classifiers along with an emphasis on the five parameters of signs as students learn classroom, household, family, personal and other everyday terms. Upon completion of this course, students will have an understanding of Deaf Culture and community, including the roots of ASL from its beginnings in the early nineteenth century, cultural norms, and the accomplishments and contributions of some important Deaf figures.
