Nature of course request C02450 :

New course

Undergraduate

First term offered : Summer 2014
Course Prefix&Number	Descriptive Title	Credits/Hours
ASL107	American Sign Language II: RCDHHA	3 -

Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces) ASL II RCDHHA

Catalog Description: [NOTE: This course does NOT appear in the catalog because it is only available to Rehabilitation Counseling with Deaf and Hard of Hearing Adults (RCDHHA) participants.] Description: The purpose of this course is to develop participants¿ basic-to-intermediate skills that are necessary to communicate with people who use American Sign Language. The course further investigates the topics addressed in ASL I and upgrades participants¿ skills from beginning to intermediate receptive and expressive fluency with ASL. Instruction targets language especially helpful to vocational rehabilitation counselors and community partners. Prerequisites: ASL I or equivalent skill (requires instructor¿s approval)

Course Goal and Objectives: Goal: To provide students intermediate ASL skills for basic and functional communication with deaf adults, focusing on vocabulary that will be helpful to vocational rehabilitation counselors and community partners. Students will: A. Review ASL I grammatical features and be introduced to more advanced level ASL grammatical features and grammatical constructs. B. Develop an intermediate level of ASL vocabulary. C. Gain additional insight into the nature of Deaf culture through its language.

Justification for adding the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): American Sign Language is a part of the 9 credit OUS approved (CIP#51.2310) Rehabilitation Counseling with Deaf and Hard of Hearing Adults month-long summer orientation program. Students take one of 4 levels of ASL in addition to 2 other courses. All current ASL courses have changed from 3 to 4 credits. It is not feasible to increase the number of contact hours students have in the ASL class over the 4-week session in this certificate program. We have dealt with this issue in the past through Temporary Course Approvals to change the credit hours. However, because the course content is not the same as the 4 credit courses, a better solution seems to be to create different course numbers for these courses. No additional funds or personnel are required as the program is grant funded. The courses are not open to the public, and the course and description do not appear in the catalog.

Faculty and facilities needed: No additional funds or personnel are required as the program is grant funded.
