Integrating Total Physical Response (TPR) with Technology: Enhancing Language Learning in the Digital Age
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article looks at how Total Physical Response (TPR), a kinesthetic way to teach languages, can be combined with current technology to help people learn languages better. Through the use of physical movement to improve memory and understanding, TPR has shown promise for novices and young learners. Teachers now have more chances to increase TPR's efficacy and reach because to the growth of interactive technologies and digital learning platforms. The theoretical foundations of TPR are reviewed, current research on technology-enhanced TPR applications is examined, and useful approaches for integrating TPR with resources like interactive whiteboards, virtual reality (VR), and educational apps are presented. Multimodal learning, enhanced retention, and higher engagement are all promised by the integration. The theoretical synergy between TPR and technology is examined in this work, which makes the case that their combination can result in more efficient and interesting second language learning.
