INTRODUCTION.

In this blog you will find some activities based on specific approaches to teach english as a second language. Welcome.

Total physical response.

Total physical response (TPR) is a language teaching method developed by James Asher, a professor emeritus of psychology at San Jose State University. It is based on the coordination of language and physical movement. In TPR, instructors give commands to students in the target language, and students respond with whole-body actions.

Activity.

1. Some situations will be created to be represented by students.

2. The first activity will be represented by the teacher, as a manner to show the way in which students will do. (Try to be very funny). The situation will be read by a student.

The idea is have an acting class, where students will interpret and act the commands that, in this case, will be the situations created by teacher.

Here we have some examples of situation that teachers can use to develop the class with total physical response.

Daniela was walking down the seventh street, she was so happy because she had money to buy a pair of boots, suddenly, she fall down, because of a lesion on her right food. Roberto, who was walking behind her, helped her to raise. Another woman picked the bills up and give them back to Daniela.

Situation 2.
