ASL 507: First-Year American Sign Language II
(Mirus, Connolly, Seeger, Young, Ramont, Bosson)
In this course we will continue to examine the sign lexicon and basic concepts of the structure and use of American Sign Language. We will stress grammatical features along with syntax and structure. The course will examine Deaf culture, history, values, social norms and how they play an important role in the deaf community. To appreciate and respect Deaf culture, you must understand the signed language. Students will learn appropriate cultural behaviors such as directing and maintaining attention, and a way of talking that keeps others informed. This course is appropriate for students who completed ASL 506 and also those who completed ASL 1 and 2 (specifically Signing Naturally Level 1) from other colleges. The course of study will focus on vocabulary and sentences for expressing complaints and making suggestions; for talking about weekend activities; and for describing and identifying things.

ASL 312K: Second-Year American Sign Language II (Bosson)
This course is offered on a letter grade basis only.
This course is for students who have completed ASL 312K (or who have completed ASL 1, 2, and 3 at other colleges (specifically required textbooks, Signing Naturally Levels One and Two by Lentz, Mikos, and Smith). It involves extensive exposure to body language and American Sign Language (ASL) allowing the development of intermediate to advanced communication skills used with Deaf people.
In order to explore various linguistic features of ASL, students will study issues such as:
1)Comparison of historically older signs with contemporary sign formation;
2)Comparison of ASL and different forms of Manually Coded English; and
3)Conceptual accurate signs: usage of semantically appropriate signs for the studentís intended message.
Deaf Culture norms and values also will be studied in issues such as Deaf Peddling and in practice of conversational skills by use of strategic interactions.
Students will present narratives focusing on, but not limited to, use of classifiers, non-manual behaviors, and usage of space and directions: personal experiences and current events.

ASL 312K: Second-Year American Sign Language II (Connolly)
This course is offered on a letter grade basis only.
This course will compare two languages: American Sign Language and English, and will study their use. In this course we will introduce you to grammatical aspects of American Sign Language, written English, and contact signing. Contact sign derives from the interaction of the two languages and is an important source of language variation in sign. The course will assist students in seeing different grammatical structures by showing these structures on videotape in class. Students will demonstrate signing in ASL and contact signing in ten grammatical topic areas: topic/comment structure, yes/no question formats; wh-question formats; rhetorical question formats; directionality; use of space; negation; classifiers; conditionals; and time sequencing ordering. There will be weekly homework video assignments. Additionally, the course will examine selective words that have multiple meanings. Students will choose appropriate signs to reflect accurate conceptual meanings.
This course is appropriate for students who have completed ASL 312K and also those who have completed ASL 4 (specifically Signing Naturally Level I and Level II) at other colleges.
