CSUS Summer ASL
Immersion: 2013
Materials:
Dear Students,
Hello :)
This email is to encourage you to get your textbook for
the CSUS Summer ASL Immersion as soon as possible.
If you are within driving distance you should get your book from
the CSUS Bookstore.
For operating hours and such, see:
http://www.bkstr.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/HelpStoreInfoView?langId=-1&storeId=13528&catalogId=10001
(or google "csus hornet bookstore").
Prior to driving you I encourage you to call the bookstore at
(916) 278-6446 to confirm that there are copies of the text
available and sitting on the shelf.
You may
order your book from whatever source you would like but I
recommend you order directly from the publisher. Information is
provided below.
Note: It is not a typo when you read that the
"Signing Naturally" Level 2 workbook is used for the ASL 3
course. The publisher originally included about twice as
much information in the level 1 workbook as needed. So many ASL
programs split the level 1 book into two courses (covering both
ASL 1 and 2).
The publisher is in the process of splitting their level 1 book
into two "books" one book each for ASL 1 and ASL 2. But the
publisher hasn't yet renamed their former level 2 book -- which
almost everyone uses for level 3.
Below I provide detailed instructions, but for your convenience
here is the link that takes you directly to the text that we are
using for the ASL 3 summer course at CSUS:

Here is a picture of the book:
Order right away so you can get the book before the course
starts. When you get the book and DVD, you should try out your
DVD right away in a standard TV-type DVD player to make sure it
works. There is nothing else to buy for this course other
than that book and DVD.
