Total Physical Response (TPR)

Total Physical Response (TPR) is a method of teaching language or vocabulary concepts by using physical movement to react to verbal input. The process mimics the way that infants learn their first language, and it reduces student inhibitions and lowers stress. The purpose of TPR is to create a brain link between speech and action to boost language and vocabulary learning.

How to Use

1. Prepare

Select the vocabulary that you are going to teach. Gather any equipment, props or pictures you will need to illustrate the meaning of the words.

2. Teacher Modeling

Say the new vocabulary word for the students.  As you do this, use gestures, facial expressions, props or body movement to illustrate the meaning of the word.

3. Student Modeling

Have student volunteers mimic the same gestures, facial expressions, use of props or body movement modeled as you say the word.

4. Student Participation

Have all students mimic the same gestures, facial expressions, use of props or body movement modeled by the teacher and student volunteers. Ask them to say the word as they are making the movement. Vary this activity by then doing the action and while students say the word.

5. Writing

Write the word or phrase where all students can see it so that students can make the connection between oral and written words.

6. Repetition and Practice

Teach the next word or phrase using the same method. Review and practice words with students multiple times to ensure learning.  Recycle words regularly to make sure that students do not forget old words.

When to Use

Total Physical Response (TPR) may be used to teach many types of vocabulary but works best when teaching vocabulary connected with action. It is an effective strategy to use with English Language Learners as well as with native speakers when learning new words.
