American Sign Language II Class

This course is a second level American Sign Language (ASL) class. Class instruction will build upon basic ASL skills, both receptive (seeing & understanding) and expressive (signing). The approach taken in class will be to emphasize the "functions" or communicative purposes of people's everyday interactions. Each unit builds on topics, vocabulary and grammar within the context of communicative activities. This class is designed to build on the student's foundation of awareness and sensitivity to the Deaf and hearing-impaired culture and communities.

Students will sign a children's story to community members at the monthly Humboldt County Library Signed Story Time.
