3. Total Physical Response (TPR)
• This technique creates situations where
students must physically respond to
imperative commands.
• Games like “Simon Says” are a great example
of how TPR works.
• It’s a fun and interactive technique for
developing beginners’ listening and
comprehension skills in a non-threatening
way.

4. Games
 “What’s inside the bag?” and “What can we
do with this?”
 It gives students the chance to describe
everyday objects in their own words and ask
one another questions;
 They forget their nervousness in unrehearsed
speech and begin to speak more fluently,
make stronger eye contact, and become more
comfortable asking for clarification.

5. Songs
A great way for
pupils to learn to
understand and use
the local accent.
Introduces new
vocabulary to the
pupils.
