3. WHERE DID THE TPR METHOD EMERGE?
As mentioned above, the TPR method was developed by James Asher in 1960
at San Jose State University in California.
4. WHY WAS THE TPR METHOD DESIGNED?
This method simulates the way children learn their native language naturally,
listening and reacting with their bodies before speaking. It is a way to
facilitate learning by linking concepts and words with movements so that
students better understand new knowledge.
5. WHAT IS THE TPR METHOD FOR?
Students respond to verbal instructions with physical actions, which help link
speech with motor memory. It is a language teaching method that combines
words with action and provides language learning through physical activity.
6. HOW IS THE TPR METHOD USED IN CLASS?
In this method, teachers present vocabulary and structures in the context of
instruction and activities, helping students learn the same way they learn
their native language. You can use this tool in many different ways and with
different levels of students.
7. WHEN SHOULD THE TPR METHOD BE USED IN THE CLASS?

The Total Response (TPR) method should be used in language classes in the
following situations:

o Introducing new Vocabulary: Helps students learn and remember new


words by connecting them to physical actions.
o Young Learner Activity: Works especially well with young children who
have high energy levels and motor learning skills.
o Beginner class: Beginners will benefit from TPR because it is easier to
understand without the need for translation.
o Show Common Vocabulary and Phrases: This can be used to reinforce
and review words and phrases you have learned interactively.
o Multi-sensory learning environment: In an environment that emphasizes
multisensory learning, TPR integrates movement, speech, and listening.
o Motivational and game-based activities: To make lessons more
interesting and help students become more motivated.
