Total Physical Response (TPR) is a language teaching method developed by James Asher that uses physical movement and actions to help students learn a new language. The teacher gives commands to students in the target language and students respond through actions without speaking. This allows students to learn through listening, recognizing, and physically responding before being asked to speak. TPR aims to reduce language learning stress through engaging the whole body and brain in a playful, interactive way between teacher and students.
