1 thought on “Power Point – Jim Tripp”
A few notes about this presentation:
1. I had 50 minutes
2. One of the comments that stuck with me after the presentation was “left me with many questions”. Came from a teacher in training. While I don’t think this is a bad thing per se, I could have avoided this a bit more by doing more demo. I only did 5 min. I used “has” in Spanish, and circled about someone who had Mt. Dew while trying not to use any other language than “has” and “or”.
3. The brain break part (slide 10) was just to submit the idea that we can’t expect to just charge straight through a class with constant CI lest we fatigue our kids. “Song/hangman/4-letter word game” would all be done in Spanish. While I think “reading aloud” in L2 is a great activity, and can certainly be a brain break, I was focusing the presentation on “beginner students”. I like to get in a 5-10 minute read-aloud, in English, once a week or so… a good time to get a blast of culture/travel/history/whatever into the mix, while also modeling reading and the joy it brings me. Kids love it too. And, proficiently in L1 correlates with proficiently in L2, given other equal factors (I can’t remember where I read that… so I’m not claiming fact on that one, but it certainly is my experience.) This is a minute part of the total class, way less than 5% of total time.
4. Slide 3 would benefit from the numbers related to # of words and percentage of total language used in natural communication (e.g. top 100 words make up X% of total language used). I don’t know where those are at the moment, but they’re powerful when arguing with a vocabulary list-focused teacher.
5. In slide 8, “Ask for and listen to their silly answers” will go straight over most teachers heads, if the basic premise of TPRS is not articulated. I think if demoed properly, this would become much clearer.
6. Ben’s “Stepping Stones” book should be added to the final slide. There are others that don’t exactly relate to what I was presenting on (e.g. Power of Reading), and others that appear not to (e.g. How to Win Friends and Influence People, which btw I think is very important for teachers to read). These were just a few I thought of when making the slide.
7. Ben, I forgot to credit you on the “quick quiz” idea.
8. Feel free to use as is, steal from, or change to your liking!
