Description: This class will build on the skills learned in previous ASL classes, increased usage of facial expressions and ASL structure. Students will learn to build language skills such as: expanded student discourse, Role-shifting, use of space, continued development of receptive and expressive skills, and Deaf and ASL immersive experiences. The purpose of the class is to be able to have meaningful conversations with people who are Deaf/HH and use ASL as their primary language.
