AMSL-201 Intermediate American Sign Language I
In this course, students will further advance their ability to apply American Sign Language skills - handshape, palm orientation, location, movement, and non-manual signals - in order to refine their ability to communicate at a intermediate level by exchanging, interpreting, and presenting information in multiple tenses and contexts; to deepen the comparisons of 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 a variety of contexts. Content and supporting language structures and vocabulary will be theme-based, with outcomes measured in a variety of ways, including task-based activities that support effective communication around the theme.
