    Description
    A beginning course designed to introduce students to the visual- gestural richness of American Sign Language as it is used within the Deaf culture. Introduces students to ASL's basic structures and vocabulary while developing students' expressive skills and understanding of fingerspelling and basic conversational strategies. Provides an introduction to the Deaf Community and culture. Students are expected to work and participate at an honors level which includes strong critical thinking skills, in-depth analysis of cultural issues surrounding the Deaf community, collaborative projects with peers, and an out-of-class learning activity.
