Language Teachers react to a demonstration of an adult Total Physical Response class. We give our expert opinion on the teaching in this example TPR lesson for adults.
What is the Total Physical Response (TPR) Teaching Method?
Total Physical Response (TPR) is a language teaching method that uses physical movement and gestures to facilitate language learning. It involves the teacher giving commands in the target language, and students responding with physical actions. This method gradually introduces new vocabulary and grammar structures, and focuses on the development of listening and speaking skills. TPR is effective for young learners and beginners, and is often used as a support method in the classroom.
