American Sign Language
Course emphasis will be on basic ASL vocabulary development and comprehension of basic
grammar, adherence and focus on the manual alphabet (fingerspelling) of names, numbers,
specific persons in one’s life and important places. Students will exercise visual/gestural
cues and non-verbal communication skills, as well as use of body language use. During
these ASL lessons and discourses, students will be strongly encouraged to incorporate
facial expressions such as punctuation markers, adjectives/adverbs and questioning
format. Certification of completion attests that students are able to communicate
in basic (or elementary) sign language with the use of fingerspelling, social survival
sign vocabulary and simple phrases with an introduction to Deaf culture and community.
