• You can Try CI in 30 minutes a week!Dip your toes into using more Comprehensible Input in your language class.
• You can keep on doing your normal stuff, following the textbook, Scope and Sequence, or doing other activities, just add a few activities to give your students more opportunities to interact with the language.I am not going to lie; it is my sincere hope that you will find that the time you spend interacting comprehensibly in the language will be enjoyable, and the improved emotional tenor of the lesson will make you want more of that feeling, so that you find more and more and more ways to spend more time in the language with your students.
• But even if you are totally constrained by external pressures or your own doubts about throwing yourself into the CI Deep End, you can give your students enjoyable and memorable experiences in the language that do not require you to turn cartwheels, be too dramatic, or do too much - if any - extra planning.These lessons are designed, as well, for teachers who feel like they need to be able to prepare the language they use ahead of time, due to nerves, the need to turn in lesson plans, or their still-growing proficiency in the language they teach.These “sessions” can be administered daily, periodically throughout the week, weekly, or just once in a while.
• However, they are designed to build on each other and it is recommended that you try them in order.
