ASL 102 Elementary American Sign Language II (4)
KCC AA/HSL (formerly AA/FL)
3 hours lecture, 2 hours lab per week
Prerequisite(s): ASL 101 or equivalent or instructor consent In ASL 102, students continue the study and use of American Sign Language (ASL), including its rules of grammar and cultural aspects of the Deaf Community. Emphasis is placed on continued building of elementary receptive and expressive sign vocabulary, and syntax, including appropriate grammatical and affective facial expressions.

Upon successful completion of ASL 102, the student should be able to:
• Demonstrate basic, functional conversational skills in ASL through giving and asking directions, making requests, contradicting others, explaining relationships and describing others.
• Demonstrate an increased proficiency in ASL syntax as developed in ASL 101 (including basic sentence structures, such as affirmations, negations, confirmations, interrogatives, commands and declaratives).
• Show beginning level competency with new grammatical concepts (rhetorical and wh-questions).
• Continue to use simple temporal markers, pronominalization, numbers, spatial referencing, noun-verb pairs, and contrastive structure.
• Use role shifting, descriptive classifiers, dual personal pronouns, temporal sequencing and inflecting verbs.
• Demonstrate social and cultural behaviors in a polite, informal register of ASL.
• Demonstrate knowledge of low-intermediate level ASL vocabulary.
• Discuss various aspects of the Deaf Community, its culture, how Deaf and hearing people have interacted historically and the role of ASL in the lives of Deaf people.
• Show the role of creative signing in ASL.
• Produce written transcriptions of short ASL texts beyond the 101 level.
• Provide feedback to classmates during large and small group activities.
