American Sign Language
LSU World Languages is proud to introduce American Sign Language (ASL) to the LSU
Baton Rouge campus. ASL is considered a foreign language and improves the quality
of family communications for hearing people with deaf or hard of hearing family members.
ASL is said to be the fourth most commonly used language in the United States.
We currently offer ASLG 1001, Beginning American Sign Language. Introduction to the
basics of American Sign Language (ASL). This course is designed to develop basic ASL
communication skills and knowledge of the Deaf culture. (4 credits).
Our faculty member is Mr. Jimmy Challis Gore who can be reached at jcgore@lsu.edu or 225-308-4816.
