…how I love to say “punto” dramatically or quickly or slowly or coyly when it is time to finish the sentence with a period….
Those who have done this can appreciate this. I absolutely love that sentence right there from Tim. The “punto” moment. Such fun!
More reports!!
Thank you for sharing this, Tim. Great stuff!
I’m right there with you with my love of saying “punto” and making a “period” in the air when I say it. The kids think it’s funny too. It’s so refreshing to hear that someone is able to make CI work at the university level.
It is so important to have someone like you at the university level. My methods teacher in my credential program taught French and went WAY too fast when demoing a lesson. The Spanish teachers were felt super embarrased when forced to say something. She was also extra hard on me because I was the soon to be French teacher.
Is there a way you can teach a methods class for soon to be teachers? Your influence there could be paramount.
I teach full-time at a high school. I am an adjunct at the local community college and am currently teaching one Spanish course. I wish I could teach a methods class! There doesn’t seem to be any TPRS or CI stuff in colleges of education. People at the community college level are very open to it, including administrators, at least in my experience. They know the old way is stressful and makes students miserable.
Yay! You are rocking it Tim. I especially loved your comments about going “slow”. I’m really glad that you enjoying teaching with CI and that your students seem to recognize how lucky they are to have a teacher like you. Keep sharing the good news!
