ASL 2 is a visual-spatial language rather than a spoken one and is taught in a full immersion classroom. It is strictly taught in ASL and voice off environment. The communication emphasis is on expressive skills (signing) and receptive skills (watching and comprehending) in order to understand and communicate with others. ASL 2 students learn to communicate, comprehend, and present on very familiar topics using isolated words and high frequency phrases in the context of Culture, Connections, Community, Comparisons and Communication by expanding on the vocabulary.
