Classes - Level 1
Class starts March 13 in East Providence, April 5 in Pawtucket
This course will teach students the foundation skills for ASL. This will include learning the four parameters of a sign – handshape, palm position, location, and movement. Students will learn a signing vocabulary to include: fingerspelling; numbers 1 – 99; colors; animals; some basic verbs and nouns; emotions; family, and foods. They will use vocabulary in meaningful contexts to develop comprehension. Three basic sentence structures will be taught, with plenty of review and practice to allow students to develop confidence. At the end of the semester, students will be able to produce a short story.
The focus of level 1 is vocabulary and smooth sign production.
