Darren’s bio:
I am totally for CI. I have been teaching Spansish for 13 years. I started using TPRS in about 2002 or 2003. I love it. I was in a high school setting for several years. It was tough being the only TPRS teacher, you know all the teachers doing the grammar thing. When I got an opportunity to change to a charter school where I control the program i jumped on it. I am now the only teacher plus an aide at a K-8 school. I teach CI, tprs, whatever we call it. I love this site because i get to read from like minded techers who are all struggling with the ” normal” way language is taught. I still have problems with parents complaining that I don’t teach the right way. But it’s getting better. I have no problem with having a questionaire of some sort to make sure those that log in are on the same page as the group. Usually the only days I get to really participate in this forum are Wednesdays but I feel this is a great learning site for TPRS teachers. Thanks Ben.
