TPR is a language teaching method developed by Dr. James J. Asher that teaches language through physical actions that coordinate with speech, based on how children naturally acquire their first language. It involves students listening to and following teacher commands before speaking. Some key advantages are that TPR is fun, easy to implement, and reduces student stress and pressure, while some disadvantages are that it is best for young learners and limited to certain courses focusing on listening and speaking skills through repetition.
