ASL V is a continuation of all the ASL classes taken before, where students build up their expertise in the visual-kinetic language used by Deaf people in the US and Canada. This course will cover common communication situations such as talking about money, making major decisions, discussing health conditions and storytelling. The course will also discuss ways of signing stories. ASL V students will also learn the basic concepts of linguistics as they pertain to ASL structure. Communication functions, vocabulary, grammar and cultural aspects of the Deaf community will be covered through the course.
