Yes. Yes. Yes. This is what happens when a class is more than a class, when it’s not about learning words but about meeting people.
Love this post! This is my favorite part about CI…getting to know my students and building that family within the classroom. This is only my second year doing TPRS and everyday the freshmen come to class speaking in Spanish and are excited about already being able to say sentences and comprehend what is going on. I truly believe they feel the energy and positive attitude that this method conveys.
Good. I think this illustrates why we get to be whole people in teaching this way. It’s very good for the teacher as well as the students.
I am an example of how my personal life has changed in the 15 years I’ve been doing this work. I’m a lot less constipated in more ways than one. I’m happier. I reach more students by a factor of about 300. I go to conferences in the summer and I see truly fine human beings many of whom in spite of the factors that conspire to crush them in their buildings nevertheless show up in the summer workshops ready to learn enough to not let that crushing effect them. Think of that. Against superior odds, they keep trying, year after year. It’s amazing. Such great people. Can you imagine looking forward to getting together with a bunch of grammar teachers every summer to talk about cool new ways to teach the subjunctive? Yecchhh! This way of teaching is so life-affirming!
