    Description
    Introduction to American Sign Language (ASL) and Deaf culture. The course is designed to give students with little to no experience in or exposure to ASL an emerging conversational and cultural foundation. Students will develop skills in telling about and comprehending common every day activities and asking questions. Students will learn how to use non-manual signs, facial expressions and other culturally appropriate uses of the face and body to interact with, show comprehension, get attention, and form appropriate cultural connections with Deaf people.
