"I didn't know being a language teacher could be so controversial."

In this episode, we tackle a classic CI tradition: fighting over methodology. We break down the differences between an "approach" and a "method" (shoutout to Dr. Bill Van Patten) and dive deep into the pros, cons, and personal histories of the tools that shaped our classrooms.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The legendary "CI Fight Club" Facebook group and Ben Slavic's early blogs.

  • Total Physical Response (TPR): Does it get too boring, or is it the ultimate somatic tool?

  • TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling): The transition from gestures to translation, the "entertainer" trap, and our thoughts on the controversial TPRS 2.0 model.

  • Krashen’s Natural Approach & Dr. Bill VanPatten's Sabias Que Edition 1 Textbook: How to turn traditional textbook structures into input-based activities.

  • The Ben Slavic Eras: From TPRS in a Year to the revolutionary non-targeted STAR Approach.

Grab your coffee and keep it CI!
