Students will also learn conversational/cultural behaviors necessary to hold a beginning-level conversation in ASL with deaf/hard-of-hearing native users of the language. Introductory information about the Deaf Community and Deaf Culture will also be presented to provide students with a broad understanding of the language and culture. This course is intended for students who have no experience with the language.
