SLS 201 - American Sign Language I

Credits: 3

The first in the series of four SLS ASL course offerings, this course is designed to teach basic conversational skills in ASL and introduce students to American Deaf culture. Students will develop an emerging understanding of American Sign Language (ASL) structure, grammar, and introductory/conversational ASL phrases. ASL literature, historical, cultural, and social aspects of deafness will be introduced with emphasis on comparisons and connections to one’s own culture. Weekly participation in ASL Lab activities and Deaf community events is required. This course is open to all Flagler College students. Enrollment preference is given to Deaf Education majors.
