    Description
    This course presents a continuation of language skill development, incorporating advanced complex ASL grammatical features and vocabulary to the description of increasingly complex constructs, processes, and situations to allow students the ability to more accurately articulate their worldviews, values, and beliefs. These opportunities incorporate strategies such as multiple character role shifting and spatial referencing in presentations of narratives and discussions of hypothetical issues (i.e. medical terminology and analysis of human anatomy and body systems) and bring students into real-world settings wherein signed conversations occur. Complex cultural factors are also explored at this level, mostly focusing around membership values in the Deaf community and determining qualifiers for who is considered a community member and who is considered an ally.
