This is an intermediate course in American Sign Language that draws upon and expands on knowledge and use of grammar, syntax, spatial referencing, classifiers, nonmanual markers, and sign vocabulary acquired in AMSL 102. Sentence constructions are reviewed with an emphasis on further development of communicative proficiency in ASL beyond the basic level. Fluency and accuracy of ASL and fingerspelling continue to be developed in conversation, as well as the use of lexicalized signs, ASL slang, and idioms. Contemporary issues and cultural attitudes governing interactions with members of the Deaf community continue to be explored.
