ASL:

The Unheard Language

Conclusion

  • ASL is a beautiful, interesting and fun language to learn.
  • ASL will benefit our student body, school, and community

Take Action!

Spread the word about ASL

Counterargument

Hiring teachers and providing learning materials is too expensive.

Fund raising and donations

Justification

Although ACU does offer several foreign languages, very few universities offer ASL...

ACU already offers so many foreign languages, we don't need any more.

Offering ASL at ACU will benefit:

What if all the money we spend on these classes goes to waste if only a few students take the class?

Intro:

Once We Have ASL

Many Americans do not think ASL is a true foreign language

  • ASL has its own sentence structure, history, and culture
  • Hire professors
  • Deaf world and Hearing world
  • Provide learning materials
  • We may live in the same country but ASL is truly foreign.
  • Offer interpreting classes

6. Conclusion

This problem has yet to be solved because...

ACU does not consider ASL a foreign language

  • Not enough students have shown their desire to take ASL
  • Offensive to deaf community
  • Depriving students of career opportunities and a beautiful new language
  • Widen the gap between the deaf and hearing community in Abilene

If ACU does not offer ASL

  • students will be deprived of career opportunities
  • remain ignorant to such a beautiful and interesting language
  • our deaf and hearing community in Abilene will remain separated

So...

ACU should offer ASL as a foreign language because it opens up new career opportunities for students and will bring the deaf and hearing communities in Abilene closer together.
