TPRS / CI
What is TPRS?
TPRS stands for Teaching Proficiency Through Storytelling. It is a method of language teaching that focuses on fluency through ‘asking’ a story with your students. I first started to play with TPRS in 2013 before attending three separate workshops on it; one by founder of TPRS, Blaine Ray, another by Educational Consultant Beth Skelton and another by TPRS trainer Grant Boulanger in 2015. After the workshops I was sold that this could be an effective way to teach foreign languages using Dr Stephen Krashen’s theory of Comprehensible Input as its backbone.
On my blog I share my experiences with using it and any resources I use over in the classroom that may be of benefit to others. Click on the file below to download a one page overview with some useful links to get you started!
