This course is based on the integration of learning outcomes across Interpersonal, Interpretive and Presentational modes of communication. Students accomplish real-world communicative tasks in culturally appropriate ways as they gain familiarity with products, practices, and perspectives of American Deaf Culture. Students learn grammar, vocabulary, structures and spatial orientation to enable them to meet functional performance goals at this level and to build a foundation for continued language learning.

Offered for 3 Semester hours.
