Thanks and you got it on all counts. One of my students learned ASL just 2 years ago and sometimes he is lost so I switch to spoken language to ensure that he understands. But I NEVER use both at the same time..voicing and ASL. If I am gonna voice, I will drop the signs and if I am gonna sign, I will drop voicing.
So that student gets a pure model of English when I switch to spoken English to fill in the gaps for him since he is still learning ASL. It helps him.
