We push back on the myth that comprehensible input only works for charismatic teachers, and we reframe proficiency as a guiding philosophy rather than a single method. Practical, low-lift strategies take center stage to show how any teacher can build high-impact, student-centered classes.

• defining proficiency as a north star for outcomes
• separating CI philosophy from specific branded methods
• why social media highlight reels skew expectations
• examples of low-lift, high-yield CI routines
• student-centered interaction over grammar-first planning
• assessment focused on what learners can do
• inclusive paths for different teacher personalities
• invitation to share experiences and questions
