Total Physical Response Example
As displayed by chapter eight of the textbook, 'Making it Happen: From Interactive to Participatory Language Teaching: Evolving Theory and Practice', the total physical response is a great method when combined with other methods to teach a second language. Being the student is involved in the language, they are able to connect the new vocabulary with their own actions. Whenever there is a new method or approach that the book discusses, I like to look up a video of it in use. Below is an example of TPR in the classroom.

I found this video very helpful for an actual classroom situation. It is a step by step approach to TPR and one can see the result of success for teaching/learning just right there on the clip. I am trying this lesson plan in my next class with young children. Thank you for sharing it on our class blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Definitely going to try this in my future classroom.
ReplyDeleteAction stories seem to be a great TPR activity. I was trying to envision myself carrying out these movements while attempting to learn a new language. The activity seems fun,challenging,and educational for learners at this level.
