If you are new to Comprehensible Input (CI), my first recommendation would be to go to Martina Bex’s website. You will find blog posts on a large variety of CI-related topics, trainings to develop you as a language teacher, and links to purchase her SOMOS curriculum. I highly recommend her curriculum if you are a NEW teacher or NEW to CI. Martina and her team provide a tremendous amount of support through TRAININGS (free and to purchase), thorough descriptions and videos of CI-related activities so that you can view the execution of these activities and support through Facebook groups and a shared google drive, where teachers share their resources.
Once I became a little more versed in CI, Kristy Placido helped me to start to “find my words” in sharing the importance of teaching for proficiency. After attending several sessions of Kristy’s at a conference several years ago, I had a desire to better articulate with my colleagues why CI was the answer for language teaching. Her resources helped me tremendously with lesson planning and sharing with my administration the difference between language acquisition and language learning. Kristy’s website provides curriculum, relevant blog posts for teaching in a language classroom, classroom posters (that I still use today) and several books that occupy space in my FVR.
