ah, i was hoping they would introduce TPRS to japan, i don't know the extent of where TPRS is in the world, but i have a feeling other countries will adopted...
Hello Philip, Great to hear from you. I've been trying to introduce TPR-S to Japan for over four years now. As for the extent of TPR-S in the world, I'd say...
Hello All, I'm teaching English in Japan on the JET Programme at Yaizu Suisan High School in Shizuoka Prefecture. I got interested in TPRS a few months ago but...
Hi Jack, Welcome to the group. I am the list owner and Moderator, so far the group is still quite small and there are very few people, who should perhaps be...
Hello Jack, It's great to hear that there's someone else interested in TPRS. Since our members are so few, I've found it difficult to get and keep an online...
i'm moving to san francisco, and i want to refine my Japanese to the quality of interpretor, i'm really good with self study because i took pointers from a...
Hello, I will be be giving a workshop on TPRS on Sunday December 2 at the ETJ Expo in Fukuoka. I'm not sure of the time of my workshop, but the Expo runs from...
Dear Melinda, Do you know what time your workshop will be yet? I'd really love to come, but Shizuoka is an awfully long way away, and if it finishes after 3pm...
Hello Jack, Thanks for showing interest in my workshop. Unfortunately, I still don't know what time my presentation is. Also, keep in mind that it's only a 45...
I've been trying to keep away from the internet but not being very successful since I'm back again :-) I've been experimenting with different things this year ...
I can also vouch for the Mandarin DVDs! I was definitely going way too fast when I tried TPRS last time. I'm going to start using it properly after Christmas....
The way I teach grammar differs from the age level. From kindergarden to about grade five I don't explain it to them at all. I just circle sentence structures...
This is something I wrote on the more TPRS listserve and thought that I'd post it here as well. A teacher in the Netherlands was asking what to do with once a...
... It helps me 1. to slow down as I point to the words. 2.deal with all the confusing things like pronouns and changes in word order. 3. have a visual aid...
Here is an email that was sent to me directly. I'm posting it here in hopes that we can share some ideas or give some advice to Kriss. Hi Melinda I saw your...
I think I might have some advice about choral responses. Don't do it. TPRS is taught in order for students to achieve comprehension, so if they answer only yes...
I agree with Melinda. If choral responses are like pulling teeth, try something different. I haven't had a lot of success with them myself, although I have...
I can think of two pieces of advice... 1. Go slow! When looking at the Fluency Fast DVDs and the Introduction to TPRS DVD, the instructors go reeeeeeaaally...
Thank you very very much for these! They are absolutely perfect for showing to my JTEs. I shall have them peruse and then report back to me :) Fantastic stuff!...
This is my first posting on "tprs japan", I just joined yesterday but I have been interested in TPRS for some time now. I don't use it exclusively in my high...
Welcome to the forum Kriss, I love your idea. I really think having some data on TPRS is just what we need in Japan. I have far to few hours with each class...
Yes, those are great questions Aimee. Thank you. My students are first year high school students who are probably not going to attend college. There is a...
Kriss, It sounds like you have a good situation in which to do TPRS research. I guess it all comes down to what your goals are. If you wanted to show your...
This is something I wrote on the moreTPRS list a few months ago. I started teaching a new group of students at junior college. I told myself that I would try...
Kriss asked what I thought the obstacles were in using TPRS in Japan. I will start the list and hope others continue it. 1. Perhaps the biggest problem is the...
For those who are interested. Here is the link to Ben Slavic's blog. A recent posts give an example of using 3 structures and the the 3 steps of TPRS ...
I think doing research is a great idea and it's something that I am also looking into. I think it might be a good idea to do a questionnaire at the beginning...
Thanks for the charts Aimee. I think I might make some and give it a try. Do you have other charts that you use in class? I always have the who, what, when,...
