CI: why and how? by Charlotte Dincher
An informative and inspiring keynote speech that will give both beginning and more experienced CI teachers new insights and support.
"If you are overwhelmed by all the other offers and are new to the CI/TPRS world, let me, an experienced CI teacher and presenter, give you a fun, research-based and at the same time practical intro to everything you need to know. Why and how we do what we do, how we stay 95% comprehensible in the foreign language 95% of the time, right from the start, what we really shouldn't do in class and what to do instead. At the end I promise you will you feel understood, well-informed and right at home."
