Abstract Details

2013, Master of Arts, Miami University, Speech Pathology and Audiology.
This paper examined the arguments for American Sign Language (ASL) as a foreign language and the development of a new ASL curriculum to fulfill a foreign language requirement at Miami University. Due to the large number of individuals in the United States using ASL as a language and the steady increase in ASL course enrollments at colleges and universities since 1990, an argument can be made that Miami University is behind the times in not offering ASL as a foreign language. This paper used primary sources from peer-reviewed literature, books, and current organizational websites to not only look at the importance of ASL instruction at institutions of higher learning but also create a new curriculum based on language learning pedagogy and new foreign language proficiency standards.
