The purpose of my study was to determine if the use of TPRS strategies with comprehensible input would increase my students' ability to understand the target language (Spanish).

What is TPRS?
TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) is an input-based approach to teaching language. It focuses on using vocabulary:
- in context
- through a comprehensible manner
- with personalized connections

What does a TPRS lesson look like?
Learning a new language requires an enormous amount of comprehensible input. Storytelling lessons using TPRS integrate the most commonly-used words and phrases in the language to build students' comprehension.
In my classes, students hear, read, write, tell, and retell stories with my guidance, often using gestures and other instructional tools to support comprehension.
