Workshop Presentation Summary
TPRS: Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling
In the morning portion, Mr. Jason Fritze will present two components: 1) the theoretical foundations of Total Physical Response (TPR) and TPRS based on second-language acquisition research and 2) the student experience of TPRS. He will do this by actually teaching another language to TJSC participants. This way, participants can have a better understanding of how TPRS works. In the afternoon, Ms. Freda Yoshioka from Campbell Hall School and Ms. Akiko Sato from Culver City High School will demonstrate how TPRS can be applied in the Japanese foreign language classroom using middle school and high school students. Following the demonstration, there will be time for participants to practice the basic technique and ask questions.
