ASL 425D Introduction to American Sign Language Teaching 3 - 3




Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces)
Intro ASL Teaching

Current Course Description:
ASL 425 Introduction to American Sign Language Teaching (3) Introduces the major theories of second language acquisition and teaching and applies these approaches to ASL instruction. The course will explore similarities and differences between L1 and L2 acquisition. Prerequisite: ASL 101, 102, 103, 201, 202, 203, LING 210, or permission of instructor

New Course Description:
ASL 425 Introduction to American Sign Language Teaching (3) Introduces the major theories of second language acquisition and teaching and applies these approaches to ASL instruction. The course will explore similarities and differences between L1 and L2 acquisition. Prerequisite: ASL 303D and INT 353D with a B or better in both classes, or permission of instructor

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.):
Students who plan on becoming ASL teachers must have near native fluency in ASL. Therefore, we are proposing that students who elect to take the teaching ASL series must complete ASL 303 and INT 353 with a B or better and this is prerequisite to taking ASL 425: Introduction to ASL Teaching.
Students/Program affected:
Majors who plan to become ASL teachers.
