Program Outcomes

Program outcomes are overarching skills that are emphasized and reinforced throughout several courses in a specific program; they are measurable statements that define what students should know or be able to do by the end of a certificate or degree at Clark College. After successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

  • Participate in most formal and informal conversations on general topics in ASL, Spanish or Japanese.
  • Demonstrate an appreciation for the linguistic and cultural diversity of ASL, Spanish or Japanese.
  • Manage common interactions using enhanced vocabulary and grammar with fellow classmate using ASL, Spanish or Japanese.
  • Identify certain rules of behavior, values, beliefs, and etiquette in Deaf, Latino/Hispanic or Japanese culture.
  • With the multicultural identity in mind, identify how the heritage language user manages their own multiple identities within the context of power, privilege and inequity.
