What will I be able to do in ASL 3
?
According to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for language other than English or TEKS, students in ASL Level II proficiency levels, as defined by ACTFL and ASLTA, are as follows:
- interpersonal receptive: intermediate mid
- interpersonal expressive: advanced low
- interpretive receptive: intermediate low
- presentational expressive: advanced low
-
Students in ASL Level III expand their ability to perform novice tasks and develop their ability to perform the tasks of the intermediate language learner.
The intermediate language learner, when dealing with everyday topics, should understand ASL phrases receptively and respond expressively with learned material; sign learned words, concepts, phrases, and sentences; apply acquired knowledge of Deaf cultural norms to the development of communication skills; and apply knowledge of the components of ASL to increase accuracy of expression. Students use expressive and receptive skills for comprehension.
