Introduction to the AIM – Workshop for English Teachers

Discover how the Accelerative Integrated Methodology (AIM) blends the best of language-acquisition theory and brain-based research with interactive, systematized and engaging classroom practice, creating astounding results. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how AIM gives students a working fluency in English in less than 100 instructional hours using these key techniques:

  • Gestures are used to convey meaning to ensure a target-language only environment! Teachers do the gestures; students do the talking.
  • Useful, key words are taught first. Don't wait to teach high-frequency words because they are hard to conjugate!
  • Grammar raps are memorized to learn and use the rules. Finally grammar is both cool and fun!
  • Songs, dances and plays engage students in an exciting classroom environment!
  • Cooperative activities get students working with each other speaking and writing creatively in English.

Workshop participants will have the opportunity to:

  • gain practical knowledge to understand how to implement the AIM
  • discover why learning a language through stories is effective
  • learn some of the songs, dances and gestures of the first units of the program
  • watch students using the AIM
  • learn how students acquire English language writing skills through the AIM
  • understand the research that supports the AIM approach
