History of TPRS
TPR Storytelling was created by Blaine Ray in the 1990's. Teachers all over the world are trying this powerful foreign language teaching method. There is no need to spend money investing in new materials. You can learn the steps and use TPRS right away. This website will help you locate TPR Storytelling training as well as books and other helpful materials. Workshops are held all over the country, and often there are opportunities to attend an inservice sponsored by a local school district at a reduced rate or even FREE. If workshops are not available in your area, Blaine Ray and other workshop presenters are available to visit your school district.

Ever wondered whether TPRS really works, or if it just sounds good on paper?

Rafael F. did too:

“I was a bit skeptical about TPRS at first. However, during the workshop, I realized I was actually learning German despite having no prior knowledge of the language. TPRS really does work!”

That's the thing about TPRS 101… you don't just hear about the method, you experience it as a student would, in a language you've never studied.

A few days after his workshop, Rafael taught his first TPRS lesson. His words: "Everyone not only loved it but also learned and had fun at the same time."

Still on the fence? That's exactly why this workshop exists.

You didn’t become a language teacher to march through chapters.

Or to watch students memorize vocabulary they never use. Or to reteach the same content every time a new unit begins.

But that’s what textbook-driven teaching often demands… It’s exhausting, discouraging, and it doesn’t lead to real communication.

What if we told you there’s a better way and it actually sticks?

TPRS® replaces the “memorize-and-forget” cycle with something the brain loves: stories, connection, emotion, and comprehensible input.

Students stop trying to recall rules and start understanding messages. They respond confidently, retain what you teach. and their fluency begins to grow naturally.

You don’t need a heavier textbook. You need a method that creates real acquisition. Ready to teach in a way that works?

One last workshop before the bell rings: TPRS 101

Before the first bell rings and your to-do list explodes, there's still time to start this coming school year with a plan that actually works.

Most teachers spend the first few weeks of the year scrambling…Figuring out routines, rebuilding momentum, hoping this is the year students finally start speaking. What if you walked in already knowing exactly how to make that happen?

That's what TPRS 101 is for. In four afternoons/evenings next week, you'll learn the tools to get students speaking sooner, thinking in the language faster, and staying engaged without you burning out trying to hold the class together.

Dates: August 10-13, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM–7:00 PM Pacific / 7:00 PM–10:00 PM Eastern (U.S.)
Location: Zoom

Summer's almost gone. Don't start the year the same way. Get energized with TPRS 2.0!

Don’t miss our Final FREE WEBINAR of the summer this Wednesday!

Teachers often assume TPRS means the teacher talks for most (or all) of class. And if you're an introvert, that can be downright exhausting.

If you've had that thought, you're not wrong. Jeremy Jordan (aka Señor Jordan) used to come home drained after teaching with TPRS/CI all day, feeling like he had to be "on" every single minute of every class.

This past year, with TPRS 2.0, that changed. Students started talking more. And Jeremy's energy levels went up, not down, by the end of the school day.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to create highly interactive classes where students do more of the talking, more of the thinking, and more of the communicating… without sacrificing your energy in the process.

Whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, omnivert, ambivert, or some other kind of “vert” entirely, this webinar is for any teach who wants students speaking more, without burning yourself out along the way.

World language teachers… Spanish, French, German, Mandarin, and beyond:

Quick question. In your classroom, who's doing more of the speaking in the language… you, or your students?

For most of us trained in traditional TPRS/CI methods, the honest answer is: we are. And it's exhausting.

I'm hosting a free webinar next week with a live demo of TPRS 2.0… where I will actually teach, showing how the ratio flips: students talking more, teachers talking less, and speaking proficiency developing faster than traditional methods typically allow.

No slides about theory first. You'll watch it happen, then we'll break down exactly why it works.
