Before taking ASL II Session I, it is required by the teacher that ASL I is completed before proceeding onto this class. ASL II Session I is an exciting class that will deepen conversation elements into the classroom! This class will be more social in nature, so at the beginning of each class (before voices are turned off), we will review previous material in spoken English and give any housekeeping announcements. We will then turn off our voices, and use ASL for the duration of the class. This will encourage us to think visually, painting pictures with our hands, and applying previously learned vocabulary. The introduction of more meaningful conversation will allow students to gain confidence in communicating at a higher level of skill. New vocabulary will also be introduced as we walk through different topics of conversation. Throughout the 10-week course we will cover the following topics and skills: living situations, giving commands (locations), communicating with the face (facial grammar), fingerspelling, discussing one's residence, cardinal numbers 1-100, giving directions, time, and more. Games, activities and video clips will be incorporated into each class to aid in and enhance our discussions and to support the learning process. Students will have the opportunity to communicate with me as the instructor, as well as with each other during class time. To be successful in the class, students should expect to be practicing their skills about 2 hours per week for both refinement of skills, and retention of the material learned in class.
