 Languages Department

All core language courses at Royal Bay are taught with the TPRS method (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling). This method is based around a series of engaging stories which are taught through questioning, choral response and dramatization in a highly comprehensible, personalized and contextualized manner. The TPRS method promotes rapid fluency in a fun and supportive environment.
