Total Physical Response (TPR) is a language learning method based on link motor activities with language learning. Learners listen to the teacher and perform reacting to what the are told with their bodies. They are also encouraged to speak when they feel ready to take that step. TPR is especially effective in the context provided by songs, games and stories.
Pointing to a picture when the teacher pronounces a certain word, mimicking the actions while they are told in a story by the teacher or sang in class, or raising hands when the teacher asks to do so would be typical TPR activities, just like games such as "Simon says" or charades.
We find that TPR is very well suited for our project and our principles about English learning, as we intend to base our set of exercises on a book.
