AMSL 102 Elementary American Sign Language II

In order to expand their ability to communicate at the second foundational level, students apply language skills in interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational modes in everyday contexts. Students deepen the comparisons of Deaf cultures, practices, perspectives, and artifacts to students’ own cultures; connect American Sign Language to other relevant disciplines; and expand their use of American Sign Language 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 a theme.
