ASL-101 |
Fundamentals of American Sign LanguagAmerican 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 nonmanual markers used in American Sign Language . In addition , we will look at Deaf culture and examine how it differs from hearing culture . |
