Total Physical Response

Total Physical Response (TPR) is a language teaching method developed by James Asher that combines speech and physical activity to enhance language learning, drawing on theories from psychology and humanistic pedagogy. It emphasizes comprehension skills before production, using commands and actions to facilitate learning in a low-stress environment. TPR has historical roots in earlier teaching methods and is often integrated with other approaches, although its effectiveness in advanced stages of language learning remains debated.
