Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is more than a collection of effective activities for any language classroom; it succinctly describes my entire approach that I use all year long in levels one through three. Starting with routines and class space, I describe how to design an effective classroom environment for language acquisition. I cover my approach to essential activities that provide personalized, imaginative and comprehensible language throughout the year. Also learn how to develop and maintain a classroom library for any language, with special attention to providing lower level texts for absolute beginners. Since an independent reading program is a core element to my approach, I describe a multi-year plan to build your reading program including ideas outlining how to transition from no reading program and reading activities that support independent readers. Special attention is dedicated to the use of authentic videos in a comprehensible classroom. Learn to expand a sixty second video into a language-rich fifty-five minute lesson plan. This guide also outlines an essential technique for the health and well-being of all teachers: how to organize a "substitute day while you are still in class" for those days when you need a rest but want your students to continue acquiring language. Remain refreshed and fascinated with the target cultures where the language you teach is spoken so that you can provide imaginative, compelling lessons to your students! This guide closes with advice on how to lead a department in transition from traditional methods to comprehensible input methods in a way that respects the professional judgement of all educators in your department. "I wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying and learning from your book. I've been using TPRS for over 15 years. I've seen lots of wonderful changes in the TPRS world. I started completely with a scripted story (Blaine Ray) and am now experimenting with OWI and Invisibles (Tina and Ben). Your book has really helped me combine all the great changes as I experiment with them this year in my classes. Thank you!" - Elaine Winer, Chicago
