Language is not merely words and grammatical structures. It is how humans connect with each other and the world around them. Language with the Five Senses is a zero translation, Comprehensible Input method that helps us tap into our senses to learn language the way our brains are wired for second language acquisition.

This training includes:

  • In-depth explanations and overviews of the method
  • Sample activities for each part of the method
  • Videos of activities presented that come from coaching sessions, live classes with students, and previous trainings.

Participants who complete this training will receive 10 clock hours as well as official certification in the method.
