Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow
Intermediate
This course is designed to continue the development of American Sign Language (ASL) skills with a primary focus on refining the use of basic ASL sentence types. Classifiers, spatial referencing, pluralization, and temporal and distributional aspects are introduced. Students will learn routine communicative functions of the language: asking, requesting, providing clarification, giving and asking for directions. Information about the Deaf Community and Deaf Culture will be included.
ASL classes at Metro Deaf School may not be equivalent to classes you've taken before. To ensure that you are placed in a class that meets your needs, please view the self-placement assessment tool. If you understand more than 80% of this video, you may be ready for the advanced course. If you scored between 60%-80% you may benefit from this intermediate course. If you scored below 60%, you may benefit from the beginner course. You may repeat the course as many times as you feel necessary.
