Instructional Strategies

Students employ strategies to communicate clearly and effectively in partner interactions, group interactions and in presenting information to a group. Students' ASL skills are developed using a language lab and interacting with guest speakers as well as to develop communication skills in conversation, role rehearsals and group activities. Socio-cultural competencies are embedded in ASL skills and strategies, and demonstrated through the use of video-taping and feedback.

The instructor uses multiple strategies to achieve the learning outcomes including: ongoing needs analysis, group work, coaching, one-on-one consultations, videos, lectures, and demonstrations.

Course delivery and instruction will be conducted online.
