Attending the AIM Summer Institute is one of the best ways to learn about the Accelerative Integrated Methodology (AIM) and experience language education that really works.
At the conference, you'll discover how AIM blends
the best of language acquisition theory and brain-based
research with interactive, systematized and engaging
classroom practice, creating astounding results.
During this action-packed and hands-on conference,
you'll learn how AIM gives students a working fluency
in the target language 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 the target language.
The AIM Summer Institute will give you all the information you need to implement the AIM program. It's that simple.
Join us for the 4th Annual AIM Summer Institute West!
