Welcome to ASL II! In this class, students will solidify and build upon what they learned in ASL I. The concepts of American Sign Language are deep and complex. Students will learn more about sentence structure, the correct variations of those structures, and when to use them. They will learn new classifiers and use those, along with the ones learned in ASL I, for sentence building and storytelling. The use of non-manual markers will be essential and utilized in more depth. As students increase their vocabulary, they will also increase their knowledge of how to interpret the meaning of words, sentences, and phrases as they translate the meaning of English to ASL and of ASL to English.

At the end of this course, students should be more fluent and confident in both speaking and understanding ASL, and they should be ready for college-level ASL classes. For students interested in pursuing interpreting careers, the instructor will provide information and guidance regarding available certifications.
