American Sign Language 163

Students begin to develop language competency across two modes of communication: expressive and receptive skills. Performance-based activities allow students to express themselves in ASL in practiced and familiar situations. Students are exposed to Deaf culture, participate in the Deaf community and make comparisons and connections to their own experiences. The use of ASL as the primary form of classroom communication increases as the year progresses (teacher-student and/or student-student).
