Why Use MovieTalk?What is MovieTalk?How to MovieTalk:MovieTalk is an innovation that has brought thepower of short videos to help maximize our use ofComprehensible Input.In TPRS MovieTalk, we take a short clip that isusually 2 to 4 minutes long and we narrate it, dramatize it, and ask questions about it. The main goalis for teachers to describe the story that studentssee in a way that is comprehensible to the students(pointing, gesturing, drawing, slow repetitivespeech, etc.). Teachers should use TPRS skills likecircling, point and pause, grammar pop-ups, andvarious levels of questioning to increase comprehensibility. MovieTalk lessons in TPRS are morethan just simply telling or narrating a story. it’sbringing language to life.MovieTalk was first used by Ashley Hastings as early as 1988. It was originally part of his Focal Skillsapproach for the purpose of increasing studentslistening comprehension for English LanguageLearners. MovieTalk is considered part of TPRS when following the 3-step process 1) establishmeaning of vocabulary and grammar structures, 2)ask-a-story, and 3) reading. TPRS teachers havetaken MovieTalk videos commonly found on websites such as YouTube and fit them to the TPRS process by choosing clips with repetitive plots andcompelling stories and turning the MovieTalks intoshort story scripts.Look, I Can Movietalk:TPRS Books’ Look, I can Movietalk is ideal forteachers wanting to incorporate MovieTalk in theirclasses.
