Total Physical Response (TPR) is a language teaching method developed by James Asher that uses physical movement and actions to help students learn a language. It is based on three principles: understanding spoken language should develop before speaking; understanding evolves through student body movement; and students should not be forced to speak but will speak spontaneously. TPR aims to teach oral proficiency at beginning levels through comprehension and action-based drills in the imperative form. While flexible, it may not be suitable for all learners and teachers need training to implement it effectively.
