TPR (Total Physical Response)

This following method as described in class and lived by myself is one of the most common and implemented nowadays. I had the opportunity to work in an English academy and be a participant in this method. 

Do you want to know how to develop it and how it works? so let's get into it.

TPR, standing for Total Physical Response, was developed by James Asher. Here, the key is to create an association of the learning language with what we see and how it is originally from our native language.

The main purpose is to learn a lot of new vocabulary, making use of dynamics that involve everyone in the class, so in this way, every student will practice and be integrated into a good free of mistake fear environment. The biggest challenge I think of is that shy people will feel forced to participate.

We carried out some activities where we could be creative and learn new vocabulary. It was very fun. 

In conclusion of this method, if you want to make your class more interactive you should implement TPR because any person at any age can do so and learn. Besides the big advantage is that nobody will get bored with a quick physical learning activity.
