Elizabeth Dentlinger shares an idea she got while observing the Concordia Language Villages. Here is her description:

“One idea that I got from El Lago del Bosque that I think would be extremely valuable for a TPRS teacher (or a teacher who is using a story in an activity like MovieTalk, reading a novel, etc.) would be to add VCR setting posters to employ during the story. Basic VCR settings include: Pause, Rewind, Fast-Forward, and Play, but could be opened up to even more options like Stop, Mute, Record, etc. to incorporate more vocabulary.

“I envision these “buttons” being something both teachers and students can use alike. I can see the teacher directing the class to the “VCR” (said in target language) and then allowing a student to choose which one. I could see giving the “botón de pausa” to a specific student to employ at any time during the story and the teacher creates 5 questions in the target language instantaneously. I can also see the teacher using these while having students act out a chapter they’ve read out of a novel. The possibilities are endless!”
