American Sign Language, Level I: This course introduces the third most 
widely used language in the United States and Canada. It is intended to 
give an overview of both the language and the culture of the deaf 
community. Emphasis will be focused on learning basic grammatical 
structure as well as developing receptive and expressive signing skills 
using in everyday conversation, also being able to give a skit in 
American Sign Language. Cultural aspects of the Deaf community will be 
shared through readings, videotapes and class discussion.

This is very exciting, as at least for the past few years, no ASL 
courses have been offered among the 5 colleges, aside from one every 
year at Smith that is part of the graduate program in Deaf Education 
and usually does not have space for 5 college students.
