Description

TPR Storytelling was created by Blaine Ray in 1990. Teachers all over the world are trying this powerful foreign language teaching method. With TPRS you can use your existing text. There is no need to spend money investing in new materials.

TPRS is changing the way many teachers go about teaching a foreign language today. Through TPRS teachers are finding they can teach the language holistically without having to teach grammar rules. Grammatical accuracy is taught but not in the traditional way through verb conjugations. Language is learned by understanding messages in the target language. That means language is picked up through comprehensible input. Input is listening and reading that is understood by the learner. We ensure the class is totally comprehensible. Also it must be repetitive and interesting. We teach the class an interesting story that is invented as the teacher asks students repetitive questions.

Please join our mailing list and let's figure out togther how to make the most of this incredible learning system here in Japan.

TPRS and testing
Japan is very test oriented. Of course, there are the tests that kids take at school, but there are calligraphy tests, flower arranging tests, tea ceremony

The long and winding road to TPRS
I read Matt's post a week or so ago and really feel for him. I worked at a private, catholic girls' school for 11 years. I was ready to pull my hair out trying
