SFU的学习经历
美国手语的圣弗朗西斯方式
A minor in American Sign Language enables students to develop the necessary knowledge of the cultural norms, 聋人社区的价值观和传统, as well as the ability to use ASL in a one-on-one setting at a conversational level. Students will be aware of the pathological perspective of deafness that is typically held by the dominant American hearing culture and possess the ability to navigate between both the cultural and pathological perspectives.

项目根
凯伦Walkney-Mrdjenovich
The growth of American Sign Language at SFU started with 凯伦Walkney-Mrdjenovich’s vision to implement a comprehensive curriculum of ASL linguistics and Deaf Cultural Studies. 天生失聪, Karen was an experienced teacher motivated by a strong desire to preserve her native language and implement a widespread awareness of Deaf Culture to the hearing population.
和其他文化一样, Deaf culture in the US has many nuances and regional differences that are critical to the study of ASL. Important to Walkney-Mrdjenovich was the development of an ASL minor that offered students an in-depth knowledge and exposure to the culture, 艺术, 和聋人语言学. Students who minor in ASL at Saint 弗朗西斯 will learn much more than the language itself: an innate understanding of a non-verbal, visual language such as ASL requires the academic research and sociological and cultural study offered through SFU’s robust curriculum.
凯伦Walkney-Mrdjenovich’s vision was accomplished in 2011 when American Sign Language, 最初作为荣誉课程选修课实施, was officially approved as a minor and rapidly grew to a University-wide language option. —唐Mrdjenovich
