ASL-101 |
Fundamentals of American Sign Language I |
American Sign Language Level 1 introduces the fundamentals of ASL as used by the Deaf community in the United States, parts of Canada, and a few other countries. ASL is not " English on the hands " or a visual code for English. Rather it is a visual-gestural communication system that incorporates the use of handshapes, facial expressions, mouth morphemes, body language, and space to convey information. The syntax of ASL is very different from English. This course will introduce students to fingerspelling, vocabulary, grammar, use of space, and non-manual markers used in American Sign Language. In addition, we will look at Deaf culture and examine |
|
how it differs from hearing culture. |
