This document discusses the Total Physical Response (TPR) language teaching method. TPR attempts to teach language through physical activity by having learners act out commands given by the teacher. The objectives of TPR are to teach oral proficiency at a beginning level through comprehension exercises that ultimately aim to develop basic speaking skills. Some advantages of TPR include that it is fun, memorable, and good for kinesthetic learners, while disadvantages include that it does not practice pronunciation or speaking creativity. The document outlines appropriate applications of TPR in the classroom and the roles of both learners and teachers in a TPR-based lesson.
