American Sign Language
Signing Naturally 1A (Units 1-3)
(scroll down for Signing Naturally 1B)
American Sign Language (ASL) is the main method of communication used by the Deaf community in Canada and the United States. ASL is a visual-based language that is expressed by facial expressions and movements with the hands.
Signing Naturally 1A explores the topics from Units 1, 2, and 3 of the Signing Naturally Student Workbook: Introducing Oneself, Exchanging Personal Information, and Talking About Where You Live. By the end of the course, students will gain knowledge of basic Deaf Culture, a vocabulary of approximately 500 words, non-manual signals (facial expressions), mouth morphemes information, and the specific grammar rules used in ASL.
Also, this non-accredited course offers the student an opportunity to develop the communication skills needed in ASL to interact, socialize, or associate with Deaf people and is suitable for students who have previous experience with ASL.
