The Motivated Classroom

11 ¦ Providing compelling Comprehensible Input with 'Calendar Chat', 'Picture-talk' & 'Movietalk'


Listen Later

This episode is all about putting Comprehensible Input (CI) into practice in the classroom. Three practical, minimal prep, CI activities are presented that you can try out right away. These are activities that will really help your learners to feel a sense of belonging in the class, whilst also boosting their competence as they can follow along and understand all of your input. I really encourage you to give them a try!

  1. Calendar Chat: Essentially using the date and day to provide lots of interesting input; what happened in history on this day, asking who has birthdays or important links to the numbers of the day etc.
  2. Picture talk: Using images to provide the class with lots of compelling input, works even better as a set of images that tells a basic or funny story. Humans love narrative and want to listen to understand and see what is happening.
  3. Movietalk: Using short clips with no words to give the class lots of understandable inputs at their level
  4. For full details a list of these strategies, check out the programme notes with further information and links to research and resources at www.liamprinter.com/podcast.
