Institution:

Utah Valley University

Subject:

American Sign Language

Description:

Offers novice ASL users opportunities to enhance their proficiency in the target language by focusing on production. Teaches how to improve authentic pronunciation, reduce errors in authenticity of language structure, generate thought in the target language spontaneously as a substitute for translation, and sharpen comprehension for natural conversational flow. Contrasts with all other first-year courses which must strive to produce mastery of the whole range of language acquisition components. Facilitates lowering the affective filter when conversing in the target language by increasing the frequency of conversational opportunities. Increases mastery of lexical items through increased frequency of use. May be repeated for a maximum of 3 credits toward graduation. Taught in ASL.
