ASL 3 is an advanced level course designed for students who have completed ASL 1 and ASL 2. This course will continue to focus on the immersion approach to language learning, with no voice in the classroom, allowing students to develop their fluency and improve their ASL skills.
Students will continue to expand their ASL vocabulary, grammar, and conversational skills, enabling them to perform narratives in ASL at an intermediate to advanced level. They will also learn how to utilize 3D space and signer’s perspective to give and receive directions, use classifiers, and tell stories in ASL. More complex number combinations and finger-spelling will also be developed through drills and everyday conversation.
The course will also explore Deaf culture through research, presentations, and class discussions, providing students with a deeper understanding of the language and its connection to the Deaf community. Students will continue to develop their understanding of Deaf culture and its history, values, and practices.
By the end of the course, students will have improved their ASL proficiency and acquired a greater understanding and appreciation of the Deaf community and its culture. Successful completion of this course can serve as a valuable credential for college admissions, scholarship applications, and employment opportunities, particularly in fields that require bilingual or multilingual skills.
