The video below shows how a tag point can be incorporated into a language lesson.

Notice how focused the learner is and how she appears to have no frustration when she does not get a tag and must try again.

This a good example of the way that TAGteach takes emotion out of the picture and expedites the lesson.

Let’s take it a little further and see how an instructor incorporates more than one tag point into a lesson.

Note that he teaches each tag point separately and allows the learner to practice until it is mastered. After 5 tags on a tag point, the teacher discusses the progress with the learner and explains the next tag point

Once the learner can perform all three tag points, the instructor gives him a chance to try the entire sequence on the practice wall without any tagging. When the learner is proficient on the low practice wall, then he moves on to a full climb. If the instructor notices any errors or any places where technique could be improved, he will take the learner back to the practice wall and work on tag points one at a time and then incorporate these into the final skill as shown in this video.

Note that the learner usually performs previously learned tag points correctly, even when the instructor is not asking for these.

Tagging can very easily be incorporated into drills commonly used in team sports.

The video below shows examples from soccer and volleyball.

There is no need to change the drills you already use, just choose a tag point and tag for this during the normal progression of the drill.

In the volleyball drill, notice that there is no extraneous talking from the coach. The athletes are allowed to focus only on the tag point. If you have an injured player, they can still participate by being the tagger during drills.
