Asl Iv

ASL IV is designed for students who have achieved a high level of proficiency in American Sign Language and are ready to refine their skills to near-native fluency. This course focuses on advanced grammatical structures, nuanced vocabulary usage, and discourse strategies necessary for complex communication in ASL. Students will engage in intensive practice through discussions, debates, presentations, and interactions with native ASL users. Topics may include Deaf folklore, ASL storytelling traditions, linguistic variation in ASL, and current events in the Deaf world. Emphasis will also be placed on developing cultural competency, critical thinking skills, and the ability to adapt language use in various social contexts within the Deaf community and beyond.
