Teaching Method

Comprehensible Input

Teaching with Comprehensible Input (TCI) is the teaching methodology and approach that I use in my classroom. I want my students to ACQUIRE the Spanish language rather than learn about it. There are many branches under the TCI umbrella including, TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling), Circling, PQA (Personalized Questions and Answers), movie talk, and so much more. The most important thing that you should know about how my classroom works is that I am speaking in SPANISH 90% of the time. I am sheltering my language and limiting it to the Spanish I know that the students know. Throughout the year this vocabulary will grow and develop and they will acquire the language naturally rather than memorize it and study its grammar.
