This course is for students who have demonstrated competency in American Sign Language (ASL) through the first semester of university instruction. Students will continue to build their knowledge of the fundamentals of ASL used by the deaf community including vocabulary, syntax, fingerspelling, grammatical non-manual signals, expressive and receptive signing skills and deaf culture. Students will also expand their knowledge of conversational/cultural behaviors necessary to hold a beginning-level conversation in ASL with deaf/hard-of-hearing native users of the language. Prerequisite: ASL 101. Three credits.
