Description

ASL 2 is a continuation of ASL 1.  This course is designed to continue development of American Sign Language expressive and receptive skills, grammar, vocabulary, cultural awareness and related terminology. The larger goal of this class is to provide students with a cultural, rather than a pathological, view of deafness and thereby increase their understanding of a variety of Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals.   Many topics are not covered in the textbook.  Handouts and other resources will be provided.  This course is 10 weeks and will cover units #9-16 of the textbook.  Learning any new language requires time and practice.  This class is designed for all individuals, hearing, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf who want to learn how to communicate in ASL. 

Purchase of the textbook is optional.  A PDF of the chapters covered will be available. Textbook: Learning American Sign Language: Levels I & II - Beginning and Intermediate (2nd edition) by Tom Humphries and Carol Padden.
