TPR (Storytelling)

Classic TPR
An introduction to TPR: The method
The total physical response method (TPR) was invented by James Asher. It is based on the giving and following of directions. Withe the TRP method, students learn language very much the same way young children learn their first language. Language learners understand many things before they want to speak, and TPR lets learners use the language through their bodies before they can actually it for speech. TPR works especially well for beginning learners when the teacher does not know the language of the students. Students usually enjoy TPR activities and laugh a lot while they learn. Following are two examples of TPR. You will soon find your own strategies for using this routines. It can be use for any sequential actions such as baking a cake, setting a table, cleaning house, ordering a meal in a restaurant. Be sure that your miming shows the meaning very clearly. Also be sure that every student imitates your actions. Without this physical activity, the word won't mean much or stay in students' memories.
