Episode 10: “CI in the Wild: My Big Takeaway”
When it comes to Comprehensible Input teaching, nothing beats real teachers sharing real classroom takeaways — from epic CI wins to wild “this actually works!” moments.
🎒 Ready to level up your CI game? Grab the CI Survival Kit, now with Ask-a-Story Slides in French, German, and Spanish — your monthly lifeline for fresh, ready-to-teach CI lessons and ideas: https://imim.us/kit
In this episode of Comprehend THIS!, guest hosts Vicki Schrader (ELL and CI educator from Surrey, BC, and author of multiple CI novels) and Pat Rolfes (26-year veteran high school Spanish teacher from Minnesota) join Scott Benedict to reflect on what CI has truly taught them — about teaching, language, and kids. From the “aha” moments that proved input really is everything, to the real-world hacks that keep CI sustainable when plans fall apart, this episode is full of heartfelt stories, teacher-to-teacher wisdom, and a little bit of caffeine-fueled honesty.
