ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

The Hawai‘i Association of Language Teachers (HALT) is pleased to bring Blaine Ray, creator of TPR Storytelling®, to Hawai‘i for a special two-day workshop over the Presidents’ Day weekend in February 2014. Here’s what people have said about it:

“TPRS is much better than anything out there.” – Dr. Stephen Krashen, author and world expert on language acquisition

 I am in the middle of my fifth year teaching with TPRS at St. Louis Community College.  Why?  Simple. It Works.” – Dr. Roy Day, French Teacher [The Language Educator, January 2006]

 “TPRS has brought my class alive and my students (both in my German and Spanish classes) are actually speaking the target language this year.  TPRS works!” – Adin Eichler

TPRS teachers report that their students have improved language skills and that enrollment has doubled or tripled in upper level classes.  Two California teachers report their students passed the AP test in one year of TPRS instruction!

Blaine Ray is offering a fantastically low rate for HALT members ($50) for the two-day workshop. To register, please submit your completed registration form with check in $US, payable to HALT, postmarked no later than January 31, 2014. We will not be accepting other forms of payment for this workshop.

Enrollment is limited, and we will be accepting registrations until the workshop is full – first come, first served. Once received and processed, we will send an email confirming whether a person has gotten a spot or not in the workshop.
