Are you thinking about becoming an interpreter? Maybe you are taking ASL as your foreign language in school and need additional practice? Maybe you feel called to serve in the Deaf community in some way. The full learning and understanding of a language involves much more than vocabulary or sentence structure. All language is unique in vocabulary, grammar, syntax, emotion, and more… including culture. ASL is a language unique to the community that uses it. Anyone who has learned a foreign language knows that any language is an experience. And it is the experience found through a language’s culture and its people that aid in a stronger foundation in which to comprehend the language being learned. The journey toward complete comprehension and usage of American Sign Language includes the recognition, not only of the sovereignty of the language, but of the understanding that ASL lives within its own community and culture. ReDeafining American Sign Language focuses on giving you a better understanding of the ASL community and culture, as well as a better and more comprehensive understanding of learning the language.
\nCourse includes: sign vocabulary; manual alphabet and numbers usage; expressive and receptive signing activities; a history of ASL; and facilitate becoming knowledgeable of the aspects of Deaf Culture as an integral part of meaningful language use. Redefining American Sign Language is designed to give students a good basis for signed communication. The curriculum parallels what we know about language development and second language learning.
\nA conversational curriculum that requires you to be an active learner.<\/p>\n
