TEACHING CHILDREN USING A TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR)

Abstract

English instruction should be engaging, repetitive, and understandable—especially for young learners. They should be taught English using suitable approaches while doing this. The method is called Total Physical Response and this method is one of the alternative teaching strategies that can be used in the classroom. Using this approach, students act as models and performers of language until they feel comfortable speaking for themselves. The teacher takes on the responsibilities of an order taker, a model giver, and an action monitor.
