First Nations Language Teacher Training
Chief Atahm School welcomes you to our 13th Annual TPR Summer Institute. The summer courses provide an opportunity for language teachers and those working in the field of language revitalization to explore theory and practice. Two courses are offered this year that are designed for new and experienced First Nations language teachers and course developers. This year we offer: a 5-day Classic TPR Course and a 5-day TPR Storytelling Course. Both of these courses are accredited through Simon Fraser University and through Thompson Rivers University.
Introduction to TPRS July 8-12, 2019
The TPR Storytelling Methodology for second language teaching has been successfully implemented in language classrooms worldwide. This action and story-based methodology quickly develops a core communicative vocabulary for students in a fun, creative way. Chief Atahm School has developed an intensive training program to help language teachers build successful language programs through TPRS. During this institute each participant will be provided with training through lectures, live teacher demonstrations, multimedia, and group activities.
Language Program Planning & Assessment July 15-19, 2017
This intensive 5 day course provides the theoretical and practical teaching applications so that teachers can plan and assess their language classrooms. TPRS will be used to demonstrate teaching strategies, and the First Nations Language Essentials program by Dr. Kathryn Michel will be used to guide the program planning process.
