ASL 215R - ASL Conversation II

Institution:

Utah Valley University

Subject:

American Sign Language

Description:

Prerequisite(s): Students should have equivalent knowledge of ASL 1020. Offers lower division/novice ASL users opportunities to enhance their proficiency in the target language by focusing on production. Teaches how to improve authentic pronunciation, reduce errors in authenticity of language structure, generate thought in the target language spontaneously as a substitute for translation, sharpen comprehension, and develop conversational strategies such as circumlocution and managing a conversation with useful expressions for starting a conversation, gaining time to think, helping interlocutors, seeking agreement, etc. Contrasts with all other first year courses which must strive to produce mastery of the whole range of language acquisition components. Facilitates lowering the affective filter when conversing in the target language by increasing the frequency of production opportunities and defusing concern about new vocabulary and grammar. Increases mastery of lexical items through increased frequency of use. May be repeated for a maximum of 3 credits toward graduation.
