The essential book for CI/TPRS teachers or any teachers who want their students to become fluent in the target language. (CI = comprehensible input)

The definitive treatment of TPRS (Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Story asking). This book will show you how to help your students actually become proficient in the language you are teaching—to understand speech and writing, to speak, and to write. The keys are:

A. Full comprehension all the time in class

B. Hearing again and again the basic grammatical features of the new language in meaningful contexts

C. Interesting content, especially about students themselves

Keep these keys functioning regularly in your classes. The benefits will be evident early and often. Students instantly understand more and more of the spoken and written language as they go along and thorugh the year they start being able to express in speech and writing what they want to say.

Basics:

  • The keys to fluency in the language classroom
