Dear Foreign/World Language Teachers,
The above post shows how easily TPRS could be used with (beginning) English as a Second Language students. I have a long document (read: rant) here that explains my ESL-teacher perspective on the above comments.

I’ve had some second language teachers ask about what TPRS is and how it fits with ESL, and I’ve had some foreign language teachers ask about sharing TPRS with ESL teachers they know. Thank you for being awesome enough to show interest in sharing TPRS with ESL teachers.

“Just the story”
The stories are going to help the students to develop skills and replace the “affective filter” by a “humanizing filter”.
I am starting to use summaries of real novels in my classes:
Español 2: Devolver al remitente, Julia Alvárez, teenagers struggling with life (migrant, growing fast etc).
Español 3: Cajas de cartón, (Panchito and his family arrive to Califonia in the 1940s. Language, , economic explotation, etc.)
Español 4: La guerra de los duraznos (Chile, after the coup, sociopolitical conflicts)
If lowering the affecting filter means to show a Disni movie, we are contrubuting to …

“Un estudio de la Universidad de Duke concluye que las películas de Disney sobrerrepresentan la riqueza, banalizan la pobreza y hacen ver que el ascenso económico depende solo del esfuerzo personal”.
Would you be willing to share examples of your comprehensible summaries? This is something I’m interested in working on, too. I agree about Disney. I watched the first 15-20 minutes of “The Book of Life” and knew that I would not be comfortable showing it in class.
‘The stories are going to help the students to develop skills and replace the “affective filter” by a “humanizing filter”.’
Well said. Stories are “humanizing” aren’t they? Particularly bicultural stories.
