TPRS® (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling®) is a method of teaching languages with interactive oral stories and readings. Student pick up, or acquire, the language by listening and understanding. Fluency comes as a result.
TPRS® is a method of second language teaching that uses highly-interactive stories to provide comprehensible input and create an atmosphere of immersion in the classroom. Students focus on the stories and not the language.
The three keys of TPRS® are 1) Comprehension, 2) Repetition, and 3) Interest.
TPRS® consists of two steps, 1) Oral story, 2) Reading.
In our TPRS® Workshops, teachers will learn how to make their classes interesting and engaging for student by teaching with stories.
At the workshops, teachers will:
◾See a demonstration of both an oral story and a reading in a language other than Spanish. They will participate in the story as a “student” as long as they don’t already know the language.
◾Receive small and whole group practice of the two steps of TPRS®, the oral story and the reading.
◾Receive training and practice on how to ask repetitive questions, also called “circling”.
◾Progress from teaching one sentence to several. A story is nothing more than a series of sentences with variables. Teachers teach and dramatize each sentence. The class responds chorally and the student actors are taught to respond with complete sentences.
◾Receiving training on how to add interest to the stories via creative details and storylines, personalization, and student dramatization.
◾Receive training on how to best manage student dramatization and dialogue in the stories.
◾Receive information regarding testing, homework, classroom management, quizzes, timed writing, teaching novels, and student retells.
