Students begin TPR/S oral practice


Students in Señor Lawhead's classes are getting used to TPR/S.  This technique (Total Physical Response w/Storytelling) was developed in the 90's by Blaine Ray and based on research by William Asher and Steven Krashen to provide students with a more natural method of language acquisition. Sr. Lawhead's approach is a bit of a hybrid adaptation and is exclusively used to assist with oral proficiency.  Watch the video as Sara's partner, Rachael, tells a story based on a cartoon that she's never seen before.
