"This module introduces Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS), an input-based language teaching technique, and how the technique is supported by research. TPRS provides a framework for teaching classes completely in the target language, even those at the beginner-level; through the steps of establishing meaning, creating a story that is acted out live in class, and reading, students understand and use the target language to communicate right away. Over time, TPRS creates fluent speakers who excel in both traditional tests and--more importantly--in real-life situations.
