This session introduces Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS) for educators new to the approach or seeking to refine their storytelling practice. Participants will explore how co-created class stories build motivated, engaged learners while increasing comprehensible input and long-term language retention. The session outlines the story creation process step-by-step—from establishing classroom norms to collaboratively building a narrative and assessing student understanding. A live demonstration will model how to initiate a TPRS story, use effective story-asking techniques, and sustain engagement. Participants will leave with practical strategies and a clear framework they can immediately apply in their language classrooms.
