ASL 1030 - American Sign Language III

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): ASL 1020 or permission from the instructor

Description: In this course, students continue to build their foundation of signing skills and knowledge acquired in American Sign Language (ASL) I and II. Students learn more vocabulary signs and more complex grammatical features using classifiers through narratives and dialogues. In addition to improving their signing skills, students learn more about Deaf culture in class and from reading assignments. Learning about Deaf culture helps students understand the particular cultural norms, behaviors, and formative shared experiences distinct to those who approach the world from a visual perspective and use ASL.
