This course provides a review and expansion of the essential skills of American Sign Language. Emphasis is placed on the progressive development of expressive and receptive skills, study of authentic and representative literacy and cultural texts, and linguistic features of ASL. Upon completion, students should be able to communicate effectively, accurately, and creatively using American Sign Language. Pre-requisite for this course is ASL 4.

Next Steps

While this course is still fresh in your mind, pause to review your learning, looking through the

lens of your final portfolio that is due at the end of your ASLEI journey. Consider the following:

1) Identify any applicable Entry-to-Practice Competencies that may be related to the

course objectives;

2) Identify possible evidence items;

INTR 101 Page 25

3) Identify potential reflection pieces that could be used in the narrative of the

Coversheet;

4) Use your organizational system to house these items and thoughts until you are

ready to work on writing future Coversheets; (Hint: If it's possible to work on all or

part of a Coversheet at this time, why not draft it now?!) and finally,

5) Check in with classmates to see if some collaborative thinking might be worth your

investment of time – what did others identify and how are they thinking of using the

learning from this course?
