美國手語 (ASL)：透過故事和對話提高熟練度（中級）

Welcome!! 

* This is an intermediate/advanced class* 

This course is designed for your learner to learn proficiency in American Sign Language (ASL). 
***In this class we do not learn through a list of vocabulary words.***
The focus of the class is that students will learn one sentence at a time. We focus on high frequency words. The goal is for students to be able to use words in context. If students can see how to use the words appropriately in ASL in sentences, then students will be able to produce the language as well. 
Each week we will do a different story in ASL. Students will learn the vocabulary as we do the stories.  Students will also learn how to fingerspell through the different stories. Students are encouraged to ask questions at the end of class. This class is a good fit for a learner that desires to learn the language as a second language. 


Week 1: Story 1
Review appropriate ways to respond. Explain signs to use for understanding. Begin with story one- students will be introduced to a story while going through the story students will answer questions. 
Example: 
There is a teenager named Gabby. She loves to drink coffee. 
Class, what is the teenagers name? (Gabby) 

The goal is repetition and focus on high frequency words that students will need to layer form common sentences.
