TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE

 

TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE

Response has become a very popular approach in which students react to the teacher with movement. Some examples include miming, gesturing, or acting out the language.

For example, the teacher and students might make an exaggerated frown and pretend to cry when learning the word “sad.” TPR suggests that students learn the target language best through physical response rather than by analysis. 

Total Physical Response (TPR) is a method of teaching language or vocabulary concepts by using physical movement to react to verbal input. The process mimics the way that infants learn their first language, and it reduces student inhibitions and lowers stress

Total Physical Response (TPR) is a language teaching approach that involves coordinating physical activity with language learning. It relies on the principle that the mind and body are closely connected, and learning is enhanced when both are engaged. 

The Total Physical Response method consists of learners responding physically to spoken language input. This can include commands, instructions, or other language stimuli provided by the teacher. Students demonstrate understanding by carrying out the corresponding physical actions.


Examples of activities that can be used with Total Physical Response include:


  • Following Commands: The teacher gives simple commands, and students respond by performing the associated actions, such as "stand up," "sit down," or "raise your right hand."
  • Role-Playing: Students act out scenarios based on verbal instructions. For instance, the teacher might describe a situation, and students physically act out the roles.
