More from Tina:
Why am I so interested in NT work? Because I think it takes stress off of teachers. It has taken considerable stress off of me. Using TPRS to get students to buy into a story based on targets requires a level of emotional trust that is not always easy to build even for a “natural” with the method. I find, and we have heard from not just a few teachers, that NT work lightens the load emotionally in class. I continue to investigate NT work in the hopes of helping other teachers find more comfort in providing CI, especially the non “naturals” and the ones who need something to ease into CI with.
