ASLD-1005ASL: Visual Vernacular and Media
Visual Vernacular refers to telling a story using your hands and body but without using ASL or fingerspelling. This course provides students with the opportunity to develop non-verbal skills to increase their comfort when communicating in a visual medium. Students will use techniques such as facial expressions, gestures, pantomime, and body language to communicate. Emphasis will be placed on elements of ASL that include the use of eye gaze, classifiers, role shifting, and utilization of space.
