Why This Topic Matters

You've probably used comprehensible input (CI) techniques like TPR, storytelling, and simple conversation exercises in your beginner or intermediate classes.

But what happens when your students advance?

The challenges shift.

It's less about basic comprehension and vocabulary and more about making the leap from understanding to creating with the language.

That's where this session steps in.
