Total Physical Response (TPR) is a language teaching method that uses physical movement in response to verbal commands to reduce student stress and lower their anxiety. In TPR, the teacher gives commands and the students act them out with their bodies. It is based on the comprehension approach where listening comprehension is emphasized over speaking. TPR has advantages like engaging students through movement, aiding vocabulary learning, and suiting both individuals and groups. Its disadvantages include potential embarrassment for some and limitation as a sole method. TPR is well-suited for teaching children as they are very active.
