TPRS (Total Physical Response and Storytelling) German Workshop

TPRS is a method that is revitalizing German programs. Come learn how to use TPRS in your classroom or improve your TPRS skills. This workshop is taught by Julie Baird (Wawasee High School, Syracuse, IN), Rob Williams (Fairfax High School, Fairfax, VA), Julie Schonauer (New Philadelphia High School, New Philadelphia, OH) and Hank Schwab (North Central High School, Indianapolis, IN), three respected German TPRSers. The workshop is arranged with break-out sessions for beginning, intermediate and advanced TPRS teachers with some whole group instruction. Beginners learn the basics. The intermediate group will cover basics and move on to tackle some of the more difficult components of teaching in a TPRS classroom. The advance session is a coaching session to practice those difficult skills that make or break a TPRS lesson. All participants will experience learning Japanese through TPRS. The atmosphere and camaraderie of this workshop makes it one of the best professional development opportunities you can experience.
