This course is a continuation of ASL Level 1 and the use of American Sign Language in communicating with the Deaf. Continued studies include ASL rules of grammar, syntax, and semantics. Emphasis is directed towards the development of clear, conceptually accurate signing. Strategies include the study of ASL language structures, translating English into ASL, teaming games, vocabulary builders, DVD lessons and stories, deaf guest speakers, performances in the KEYS Winter and Spring Concerts, and outreach activities.
There is no required text; the instructor will provide copies of the necessary material.
