Comprehensible Input
I teach I through a method known as Comprehensible Input (CI). I love this method of teaching languages, but I am still learning techniques in this teaching style. I aim to build relationships with my students using stories and topic relative to them. The CI teaching style implements stories, novels, history, gestures, games and frequency vocabulary to acquire the language by using Spanish (as opposed to using English to talk about Spanish). Studies show that people acquire language by listening and reading, so we will be doing lots of this in the classroom. Students will work with partners and groups often, and much of the learning will take place in the classroom. Therefore, attendance and participation are extremely important.
