Introducing children to English using the Total Physical Response (TPR) method
In early TPR lessons students hear and see and then hear and do.
Hear and see. Students hear the teacher say a command and see the teacher demonstrate the action. They hear the command again and see the teacher and student volunteers demonstrate the action
Hear and do. They hear the command a third time and they do the actions.
Here is the “3 x 3” pattern to follow
1. TEACHER CALLS OUT THE COMMANDS AND THEN THE TEACHER DOES THE ACTIONS. DO THIS 3 TIMES.
2. TEACHER CALLS OUT THE COMMANDS AND THEN TEACHER WITH VOLUNTEERS DO THE ACTIONS. DO THIS 3 TIMES.
3. TEACHER CALLS OUT THE COMMANDS AND STUDENTS DO THE ACTIONS. DO THIS 3 TIMES.
Instructions for the teacher are in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS. Please read them carefully the day before you do the lesson so that you know the materials you will need. Also practice reading the commands several times before the lesson so you can say them correctly and clearly.
In the NEW WORDS column, verbs are shown in italics. In the “Commands for Practice” column, new words are underlined the first time they are used. Students’ responses are written in CAPITAL LETTERS.
Use the “COMMANDS FOR 3X3 DEMONSTRATION” column for the “3 x3” demonstrations (see above). The new words for that day are underlined.
Use the COMMANDS FOR PRACTICE column to have students practice hearing, seeing and doing the commands. The commands are grouped into “sets”.
Students work in pairs or teams for many lessons but one student at a time does the actions. (Check the directions for each lesson.)
Make sure that every student gets a chance to listen and respond to the commands each day. While some students work at the chalkboard or in front of the classroom, other students work in teams or alone at their desks. Repeat the commands as often as needed so that each student on each team gets a chance to practice.
Use students’ own names, when possible. Some lessons refer to “#1”, “#2”, etc. When you do the lesson, use the students’ names rather than the numbers.
Vocabulary: At the end of this book is a list of all the vocabulary terms introduced in these lessons.
