What is TPR?
For those who don't know it yet, TPR (Total Physical Response) is a method developed by James Asher to help people learn a second language. It is based on how children learn their first language, they just listen, watch and repeat what they hear and this is what TPR is about. So it means that comprehension comes fisrt and then you can produce what you have learnt. To be short, students respond to commands that require physical movement.

I've already used it in some lessons at home and it works quiet well. If we learn new words in English we use a lot of movements (if possible with the word) to connect language, pronunciation and movements. I can just recommend this method, it is really easy and they learn it so quickly.
