2. What is Total Physical Response Method? A language teaching method built around the coordination of speech and action . Students respond using physical movements to the orders given by the teacher. Learning is much more efficient and active participation is more complete.

3. This method was introduced by J ames Asher . He focused on a concept that “babies don’t learn comprehension by memorizing list but they learn by listening and then try to speak the words which they listen”

4. Understanding the spoken language before developing the skills of speaking. Imperatives are the main structures to transfer or communicate information. The student is not forced to speak, but allowed to spontaneously begin to speak when the student feels comfortable and confident in understanding and producing the expressions. What are the basic principles?

5. Teaching ORAL PROFICIENCY at a beginning level. Using imperative drills in class room. (Less stress, more comfortable What are the o bjectives? U sing comprehension as means of speaking

6. TEACHER uses commands most of the time. C ommunication with the students. THE CLASS ACTIVITIES favor the development of listening, vocabulary and speech. STUDENTS constantly hear the teacher’s order in this way, they become familiar with sounds. THE METHOD respects the students’ inicial silence (silente period). What are the characteristics?

7. How is it used in the classroom ? Teacher and students take the roles similar to parent and child. Students must respond physically. The activity can be as simple or more complex games.

8. It’s difficult to teach the abstract content. Teachers have to do obvious actions carefully. TPR has been an experimental model with volunteer students. TPR is especially effective in the beginning levels of language. Students enjoy spending time. TPR activities are simple. TPR requires no skills and works well in classes. It‘s good for kinesthetic students. What are? ADVANTAGES LIMITS

9. The syllabus The criterion for including a vocabulary item or grammatical feature at a particular point in training is the ease of assimilation by students. Asher also suggests that a fixed number of items be introduced at a time, to facilitate ease of differentiation and assimilation. The movement of the body seems to be a powerful mediator for the understanding, organization, and storage of macro-details of linguistic input.

10. What are learner roles? Have the primary roles of listener and performer. They listen attentively and respond physically to commands given by the teacher Learners are also expected to recognize and respond to novel combinations of previously taught items.

11. What are teacher roles? "The instructor is the director of a stage play in which the students are the actors" Is the teacher who decides what to teach, who models and presents the new materials, and who selects supporting materials for classroom use. Teacher usually initiates the interaction between learners.

12. What is the role of instructional materials? For absolute beginners, lessons may not require the use of materials. Later the teacher may use common classroom objects As the course develops, the teacher will need to make or collect supporting materials to support teaching points

13. Procedure The majority of class time in TPR lessons is spent doing drills in which the instructor gives commands using the imperative mood. Students respond to these commands with physical actions. Initially, students learn the meaning of the commands they hear by direct observation. After they learn the meaning of the words in these commands, the teacher issues commands that use novel combinations of the words the students have learned. Instructors limit the number of new vocabulary items given to students at any one time. This is to help students differentiate the new words from those previously learned, and to facilitate integration with their existing language knowledge
