Methods: |
TPR (Total Physical
Response) uses whole body movement to teach concrete nouns
and erbs that need no translation. TPRS (Teaching
Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) scaffolds
grammatical structures onto concrete vocabulary and cognates
as the teacher poses questions that lead students into
creating a story with their own responses. See
About the
Center for more information about these methods. |
