06.26.13 ~ Curtain and Dahlberg, Chapter 3
This chapter was about the three different modes of communication (as they relate to language instruction): interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. It talks about why each is important to studying language and furthermore, it gives ideas and suggestions of activities to teach through each mode. In a previous blog entry I mentioned that I wanted to know more about TPR and specifically about TPRS, so I was very happy that this chapter included a longer and more involved explanation of TPRS. I also liked learning about the Gouin Series which in some ways seems like it would be an easier and even better way to teach several phrases with actions than TPRS. I am really looking forward to our lessons on Monday and to seeing TPR in action!
