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

class discussion. EXP,MCP,QUA,REA, PRJ,PRS,WRI</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
