ASL I

ASL I introduces students to the background and development of the different signing methods along with Deaf culture. Students become proficient at signing through spelling, gestures, and vocabulary necessary for basic communication. This course is highly interactive and project-based, which is ideal for students who learn best through movement (kinesthetic learners). American Sign Language is a recognized foreign language by many colleges and universities.

Additional Expectations: Students are expected to experience Deafness throughout both semesters and integrate ASL into their spiritual understanding.
