American Sign Language is the natural language of the deaf. It uses its own syntax, vocabulary, and metalinguistic rules. this course uses the Signing Naturally curriculum, workbook activities, video exercises, and classroom expressive and receptive language drills to present ASL theories. Other topics to be addressed include finger spelling, Deaf culture, and assistive technology.

ASL 200     American Sign Language II   (AS/CD)

Building upon the basic structures presented in ASL 100, this course focuses on culturally significant topics related to the Deaf community, more complex ASL grammatical features, vocabulary-building, classifiers, comprehension and development of medium-length stories, narratives and dialogues.
