Oral interpretation allows the student one venue, and that is expression through words, thus interpretation. Therefore, as interpreters, a student must rely upon every avenue possible to enable him to express these emotions. All too often, however, students feel that the use of language is a right and not a privilege. In other words, students take advantage of this use of expression and take it to an inappropriate level. The attitude is that a student feels he has the right to use the language, thus forgetting the purpose behind this venue.
Language becomes offensive and uncalled for because it is used inappropriately.
Above all else, we must understand that we are educators, and students look to us for guidance in all aspects. We must encourage success through knowledge, rather than through competition. Whether the student is a member of your team or someone else's, the primary goal for all of us should be to educate. It is important to collapse the differences within our community so that students may have the opportunity to grow as performers. When we remain stagnant in disagreement, then students will remain stagnant in the learning process.
