Introduction to American Sign Language (ASL)
Now Extended to TEN SESSIONS STARTING AUGUST 29, 2012 — Wed. 6-8p 169
Instructors: Suzanne Terrio, Ed.M.,MA,CSC,CIC
Co-Taught by LeRoy Terrio, DEAF
Students will learn the parameters of ASL, such as handshapes, spatial
relationships, two-handed vs. one handed signs, palm orientation,
facial grammar, non-manual markers, speed and intensity of signs and
how it affects meaning.
Students will experience aspects of Deaf Culture, such as having a name
sign, hand-waving to call attention, where it is appropriate and how to
tap a deaf person to establish eye contact for face-to- face
communication.
This introductory course will clear up myths and misconceptions many
people have toward ASL and Deaf people. In just 5 weeks, students will
know how to:
Communicate with a Deaf person through gestures, simple signs, and the
interpreting process;
Use basic “WH” questions–Who, What, Where, How, When, Why
Apply simple grammatical rules such as noun and adjective placement
Receptively and expressively use ASL pronouns; signs for family
members; signs for common household objects and furnishings; and basic
noun verb pairs, such as sit vs. chair, scissors vs. cut
Identify compound signs, which require more than two-hand shapes, such
as brother or sister.
