2.  Total physical response (TPR) is a language teaching method
developed by James Asher, a professor emeritus of psychology at San
José State University.
 It is based on the coordination of language and physical movement.
 In TPR, instructors give commands to students in the target
language with body movements, and students respond with whole-
body actions.

3. Learners role of listen and perfome
Students should be more active and talkactive
The coordination of speech and action
Great deal of listening and acting
Seated in a semi circle
Directing a performance in which the students are actors

4.  In the classroom the teacher plays the role of parent.
 She starts by saying a word ('jump') or a phrase ('look at the board')
and demonstrating an action.
 The teacher then says the command and the students all do the
action.
 After repeating a few times it is possible to extend this by asking the
students to repeat the word as they do the action.
 When they feel confident with the word or phrase you can then ask
the students to direct each other or the whole class.

5.  It is fun, easy, and memorable
 It benefits the struggling students
 Creates positive thinking
 Actions help build connections in the brain
 There is no pressure to speak
 It reduces learning stress

active and direct role

system because TPR seems to work effectively for the
children and the adults and there is no age barrier.
