Honors American Sign Language (ASL) III

This course is an intermediate level course in which students will expand their ability to communicate in a variety of settings about an increasing number of topics. Communicative functions will continue to be practiced in meaningful real-life contexts as students acquire greater breadth & depth of vocabulary & grammar. It will also expand their understanding of such advanced grammatical features as the use of classifiers, spatial visualization, role play and eye gaze in storytelling & everyday conversation. Emphasis will be placed on real-world application of language skills, according to Arizona and national standards. Cultural competence will also continue through the use of authentic resources and cultural themes. Students will be expected to actively use their language skills each day to build proficiency - signing and interpreting authentic language. ASL is used almost exclusively in the class by both the teacher and the students.
