You will experience ten AIM classes from start to finish and will feel what it is like to be both an AIM teacher and student!

These sessions are for teachers who would like to develop their confidence and ability to gesture effectively when working with the whole class.
These hands-on sessions are NOT a replacement for the Levelled AIM Training (Levels 1 through to Certification). The Levelled Training Sessions provide a much broader and comprehensive overview of and practice with the implementation of every aspect of AIM in both whole-class and partner/group activities.

- Sessions are approximately 40 minutes in length
- We will focus on one or two topics each session.

Sessions will include engaging, 'hands-on' gesture practice with:

  • Basic gesture teaching
  • Kinesthetic Gesture Reviews 
  • Oral Gesture Reviews
  • Spontaneous gesturing 
  • Gesturing a play
  • Gesturing Total Questions
  • Gesturing Partial Questions
  • Introducing activities through gesture
  • Grammar/Language Refinements
  • Gesturing Oral Retellings
  • Gesturing Entry Routines and Leaving Routines
  • ...and more!

We solve many of the challenges language teachers face.

Learn about some of the challenges Primary School Teachers face when teaching languages.

The Gesture Approach

The AIM is a methodology that supports students by providing strategies and techniques that ensure student language acquisition and a high level of engagement. The Gesture Approach allows students to visualize, hear, say and 'feel' the language simultaneously, and this results in rapid proficiency development.

A Literacy- and Arts-Based Approach

Through the use of story and drama, songs, raps, and dances, students are moving to the language as they create meaning. Scaffolding and cooperative learning strategies help all students - the shy, weak, and strong - to find great support and success.

High-Frequency Vocabulary

One of the most essential aspects of AIM that ensures student success is the high-frequency vocabulary (Pared-Down Language) that threads throughout every aspect of this methodology. AIM is designed such that each word is repeated extensively, allowing students to develop a strong foundation for language proficiency.
