ASL 4 — American Sign Language IV (4.00 units)
American Sign Language (ASL) further develops receptive and expressive skills with an emphasis on ASL narratives and active communication in ASL. It continues to use the functional-notation approach in learning grammar and context. This course also expands on major linguistic and grammatical features, including restructuring space, rephrasing register; and cultural features, including cultural diversity in the Deaf world, Deaf storytellers, and various social services and programs. The student will continue an in-depth study of the global Deaf community and culture through short stories, narratives and interactive use of ASL.
