| Title | Accelerative Integrated Method (AIM) |
| Body | From http://french.about.com/cs/teachingresources/a/aim.htm The foreign language teaching methodology known as Accelerative Integrated Method (AIM) uses gestures, music, dance, and theater to help students learn. The basic premise of AIM is that students learn and remember better when they do something that goes along with the words they are saying. For example, while the students say "regarder" (to look), they hold their hands in front of their eyes in the shape of binoculars. This Gesture Approach includes defined gestures for 700 essential French words, known as Pared Down Language. The gestures are then combined with theater, storytelling, dance, and music to help students remember and use the language.
