American Sign Language
Description
American Sign Language (ASL) is recognized by linguists as a distinct language that utilizes visual and gestural symbols in place of the sounds used in spoken language. ASL is used as the predominant method of communication by the Deaf community in Canada and the United States, and increasingly by the hearing community to communicate with the Deaf. Through participation in classroom interaction and activities, students will learn about Deaf culture, useful vocabulary, and specific grammatical features of ASL. No spoken languages will be used in the classroom.
Upon successful completion of three consecutive levels of ASL study students may apply for a Recognition of Achievement in ASL. Placement Assessment Students with prior knowledge of American Sign Language must register in LGE001 for a placement assessment.
