These sessions are for teachers who would like to develop their confidence and ability to gesture effectively when working with the whole class.

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.

- We will focus on one or two topics each session.

Sessions are recorded. You will receive access to the recordings for three months.


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

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.
