National TPR Storytelling® Conference

 Although circling and comprehension questions are necessary for instructing beginning language learners, they can also leave students bored and in a perpetual holding pattern of monotony and linguistic stagnation. In this interactive session, participants will learn how to ask questions that are comprehensible, compelling and cognitively engaging. Discover how easy it is to use ‘4-Q’ strategies to engage learners and incidentally and simultaneously meet the Standards, how to create level-appropriate questions that elicit deductive reasoning and inference skills, and how to use QAR strategies as a framework for differentiating reading comprehension questions. Participants are invited to bring a story, story outline or piece of text to use for questioning practice.
