AMSL-102 Elementary American Sign Language II
In this course, students will advance their ability to apply American Sign Language skills - handshape, palm orientation, location, movement, and non-manual signals - in order to expand their ability to communicate at a basic level by exchanging, interpreting, and presenting information; to compare the practices, perspectives, and products of Deaf culture to those of hearing culture; to connect ASL to other relevant disciplines; and to expand their use of ASL outside of the classroom in limited contexts. Content and supporting language structures and vocabulary that support it will be theme-based, with outcomes measured in a variety of ways, including task-based activities that support effective communication around the theme.
