**English word order does not help the students to visualize the setting and can cause confusion in their minds. If students can understand English print, they don't need the ASL. But, if they don't understand English print, using signed English will not help them understand the text any better.
Interpreters often neglect to address verb tense, noun plurality, and specification (the). They tend to sign all verbs in the present tense, and all nouns as singular and general (a). In casual conversations tense,plurality, and specification are not always emphasized but in an academic setting it is important to expose students to all of the information that is included in the instruction.
