ASLD-3004Deaf Community Exploration
Immersive approaches to learning ASL are essential for gaining fluency and becoming effective ASL communicators. Through interactive activities and conversations using everyday expressions and phrases to discuss familiar contexts students will develop communicative language abilities in ASL. Students will apply information they have learned to spontaneous communication, where the students will be able to enhance their ASL grammatical accuracy and understanding of cultural competence through interactions in ASL. Students’ experiential learning will be delivered through field trips and community-based involvement to give students an authentic experience and a glimpse of the Deaf community and the language used within it.
