I think the feelings about TC vary from place to place: where I live it's simcomm (ASL + simultaneous speaking) that gets a bad rap. Personally, I like it for communication in a mixed group because it includes all: signers and speakers together. I agree with the criticism though, when it's used as a teaching tool in the classroom, apart from sandwiching vocabulary to clarify, I think there needs to be a little bit of separation between the languages early on .

[QUOTE="GrendelQ, post: 1661330, member: 21799"] I think the feelings about TC vary from place to place: where I live it's simcomm (ASL + simultaneous speaking) that gets a bad rap. Personally, I like it for communication in a mixed group because it includes all: signers and speakers together. I agree with the criticism though, when it's used as a teaching tool in the classroom, apart from sandwiching vocabulary to clarify, I think there needs to be a little bit of separation between the languages early on :).
