ASL 1101 - American Sign Language and Culture I


Credits: 4

This is an overview of American Sign Language (ASL), its basic vocabulary, structure, syntax, and grammar. Students will focus on mastering the basics of fingerspelling, numbers, colors, facial grammar, and sentence structure; students will also learn conversational/cultural behaviors necessary to hold a beginning-level conversation in ASL, with deaf/hard-of-hearing native users of the language. Introductory information about Deaf culture will also be presented, along with Deaf humor, to provide students with a broad picture of language and culture.
