Here at Carleton we have a strong ASL program.
Here at Carleton we have a strong ASL program. You can take courses at all levels, 1st to 4th year. They aren’t translation or interpretation programs.
That’s something different. But the courses will teach you how to use ASL to communicate with members of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities.
As a language, ASL focuses heavily on expressing ideas and on seeing these ideas understood by others. As a result, our classes incorporate lots of practice and intensive feedback.
Instructors are a mix of both Deaf and Hearing and each brings to their teaching a passion for the language and for sharing this passion with their students.
ASL proficiency may be particularly useful on certain career paths: social work, speech pathology, audiology, and/or education to name a few.
However, like learning any language, the process itself can also be deeply rewarding. This is uniquely true of ASL as it teaches you to communicate not verbally as most of us are accustomed to, but rather through the movement of our bodies, gestures, and facial expressions.
