Making Language Learning Active: the Role of Total Physical Response (tpr) in Efl Classrooms

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Total Physical Response (TPR) is a teaching method that connects language learning with movement, making it more natural and engaging for young learners. Developed by Dr. James J. Asher, TPR reflects how children acquire their first language—through listening and acting before speaking. This article explores how TPR supports language development in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) setting by building listening skills, reducing learner anxiety, and increasing engagement. It also highlights the method's strengths, challenges, and practical uses in the classroom.
