ASL 1 (Beginning): This class is appropriate for students with no prior knowledge of ASL or for students who know a few signs and want to learn more of the grammar and usage of ASL. It is also a great class for parents wanting to learn basic signs to use with their babies/children or for professionals wanting to learn to communicate with Deaf clients in the workplace. High school juniors and seniors may also enroll in ASL classes to earn foreign language credit. 

ASL 2 (Intermediate): This course is for students who have completed ASL 1 with a B or better. We will focus on receptive skills, expressive skills, Deaf culture, and grammar rules. High school juniors and seniors may also enroll in ASL classes to earn foreign language credit.

FAQ:

Q:  I already know the ASL alphabet and a few signs. Should I sign up for ASL 1 or ASL 2?

A: We learn the ASL alphabet the first day of ASL 1. By the end of ASL 1, you will know hundreds of ASL signs and will know the grammar rules to use them properly in sentences. If you have taken an ASL class before and think you can skip to ASL 2, please email us at asl@btech.edu and we will set up a time to meet with you and assess your skills. We also have parts of each unit that focus on Deaf culture, so students wanting to start with ASL 2 will also need to demonstrate knowledge of Deaf culture.
