Be sure to bring pen and paper and we will get started. Below is a description of the class and if you have any questions please e-mail gary.crase@centre.edu. ASL 1: Introduction to American Sign Language. This is an introductory class for those with little to no signing experience. Manual alphabet, development of basic knowledge, understanding of conversational ASL, and Deaf Culture will be covered. Focus will be on a non-voice environment to improve expressive and receptive skills. A group outing and a visit from native Deaf signers are planned. The class is free to students, faculty, and staff and will meet twice a week.
