Total Physical Response (TPR) is a language teaching method developed by James Asher in the 1960s. It emphasizes the coordination of language and physical movement, allowing learners to respond to commands with actions. This approach is particularly effective for beginners, as it engages multiple senses and helps reinforce vocabulary and grammar through physical activity. In TPR, instructors give commands in the target language, and students act them out. For example, if the teacher says "jump," students will jump. This method not only makes learning fun but also reduces anxiety, as students can understand and respond without the pressure of speaking immediately.
