Jenny Purath, AIM Spanish teacher

“I found AIM a few years ago in a desperate search. I had taught for years and longed to see my students attain some level of proficiency in the target language and was dissatisfied with all the methods I had tried, but I did not feel like I had the time to write my own curriculum. I stumbled upon AIM and decided to give it a try.

Now that I have used the AIM method, I would not teach any other way. My current elementary students are speaking more proficiently than my high school students who were taught using traditional methods. AIM makes language learning enjoyable for students, but also pushes them to think critically and express themselves creatively. I love that the curriculum guide is so teacher-friendly and that there are so many resources available to AIM teachers (online teacher training, in-person conferences, etc) to help us thoroughly understand the method and teach it effectively.

Using the AIM method has brought much joy into what I do each day. Seeing the progress my students are making is every language teacher’s dream. I love to see them make connections and speak spontaneously.”
