ASL 1020 Beginning American Sign Language II

This course is a continuation of basic aspects of American Sign Language (ASL) taught in ASL 1010. Students will continue to focus on fingerspelling, numbers, facial grammar and sentence structure. Students will also further develop the conversational/cultural behaviors necessary to hold a beginning-level conversation. Additional cultural information will be presented as well as to aid student development of awareness and appreciation for the unique linguistic relationship between language and culture among those deaf /hard-of-hearing individuals who use ASL to communicate. This course is intended for students who have previous experience with the language and/or have taken ASL 1010. NOTE: Students who took SLP 2750 or SLP 2760 should consult with the Chair of the Department of Languages and Cultures for placement.
