Introduction to American Sign Language: development of receptive and expressive skills in authentic situations and an introduction to Deaf Culture; fingerspelling, numbers, classifiers, and facial expressions. Not for native speakers per University Academic Regulations 4.9. Previously offered as ASL 1115.

This course introduces cognitive processes of communication. Cognitive processing underlies some of the more complex aspects of simultaneous interpreting. Topics to be covered in the course include language and intralingual skills, memory, comprehension, and routinization of complex cognitive linguistic tasks. Students will develop further abilities to utilize this component of ASL in their expressive and receptive signing abilities.Prerequisite(s): ASL 2813 or equivalent proficiency.

Understand the purpose and obligations of an interpreter; how this role will affect the interpreter as well as others, since all actions have consequences. Look at stakeholders and short-term and long-term effects of decisions made and be able to support those decisions with ethical standards. Preparation to take the State of Oklahoma Quality Assurance Screening Test (QAST) by the end of the course. Previously offered as ASL 3603.Prerequisite(s): ASL 3713

Readings and discussion of vital subjects in American Sign Language. Offered for variable credit, 1-3 credit hours, maximum of 9 credit hours.Prerequisite(s): Consent of instructor.

Students will complete a part-time (or full-time) practicum interpreting experience under the direct supervision of a mentor in an educational, public, or private setting. Students will coordinate interpreting services, participate in professional development activities, observe interpreted events, and interpret. This course does not require on-site class meetings. The internship is completed at the site(s) agreed upon by the student, internship mentor, and the course faculty member.Prerequisite(s): ASL 4003 and Instructor Permission.

A guided reading and research program ending with an honors thesis under the direction of a senior faculty member with second faculty reader, both of whom will be present at an oral defense of the thesis. Required for graduation with departmental honors in any foreign language major. Previously offered as FLL 4993.Prerequisite(s): Departmental invitation, senior standing, Honors Program participation.

Individual guided study, tutorial or seminar on specially selected topics in a foreign language or literature. Previously offered as FLL 4000.Offered for variable credit, 1-9 credit hours, maximum of 9 credit hours.Prerequisite(s): Junior standing or consent of instructor.

This course is designed to teach vocabulary and concepts about topics within the primary and early secondary educational STEM settings. Students will learn about applicable laws for K-12 interpreting, resources for STEM, Deaf education in K-12, and introduction to the field’s standard practice of educational interpreting. The course will have project-based and problem-based learning activities. The course will help prepare students who seek to enter the K-8th public school system as sign language interpreters or Deaf education teachers. This course will be taught in ASL.Prerequisite(s): ASL 2813 or equivalent proficiency.

This course focuses on developing translation skills. Translation skills are critical in delivering message equivalence between languages. Emphasis will be on preparing to translate, interlingual meaning transfer, target language form, framing the cognitive interpreting process, and norms of diverse linguistic populations. The translation skills acquired from this course serve as a foundation for consecutive and simultaneous interpreting.Prerequisite(s): ASL 3113 or equivalent proficiency.

This course is a continuation of STEM 1 and will provide an interdisciplinary approach to integrating STEM into practice across the disciplines. The course will involve participation in problem-based and project-based learning activities, mathematics and science, inquiries learning tasks, and using technology to gain and display information. We will also delve into arts, health, and other technical aspects of educational arenas. Students will practice backwards design to develop their own STEM learning activity. This course will be taught in total immersion of ASL during introductions and activities. Prerequisite(s): ASL 3723 or equivalent proficiency.
