ASLD 101 and ASLD 102, Elementary ASL I and II respectively, are an introduction to communication in ASL. You will acquire a beginner's vocabulary and grammar while building a preliminary understanding of the Deaf perspective on life.
The course will be taught primarily in ASL and with clarifications in written English as needed. The course activities will provide you with ample opportunities to practice communication in ASL as much as possible. Because of the absence of a standardized written system for ASL, you will submit recorded videos in many assignments. |
