ASL 202 - American Sign Language IV

4 Credits, 6 Contact Hours (3 lec., 3 lab)

Continuation of ASL 201 . Includes: use of sign space; conceptual accuracy; directionality; mimetic description; dialects; numerical applications; American Sign Language (ASL) expansions; English words with no direct ASL translation; English passive voice to ASL active voice; rendering ASL and English passages; current cultural issues; and the field of interpreting. Because language and culture are inextricably linked, this course will also demonstrate how ASL conveys the values, beliefs, customs, and history of American Deaf culture.

Prerequisite(s): ASL 201  with a grade of C or better.
Information: Students will be required to perform an additional ten lab hours outside of regular classroom schedule. The lab experience is designed to provide a “signing only” environment for students to practice classroom skills with Deaf tutors; expose students to communication in a Deaf environment; provide students with real life exposure to the Deaf community. This class is conducted primarily without voice.
Gen-Ed: Meets AGEC - OTHER and C; Meets CTE - A&H and C.
