Total physical response

2.2.3 TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR) Total physical response (TPR) is a language teaching method developed by James Asher, a professor emeritus of psychology at San José 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. The method is an example of the comprehension approach to language teaching. The listening and responding (with actions) serves two

Students break the poor practice of over-analyzing language as well as become much more comfortable with studying under the framework of the material. TPR do not require a verbal response from EL students. While efficiently implemented, EL students usually understand what is going on during TPR training. This results in an enhanced confidence and shrinking of the affective filter. The standards of TPR consist of: a) setting up a script

of the alternative methods that can be applied in the classroom is the so-called Total Physical Response. This method tries to introduce some language skills or components in an action in which a teacher serves three roles: an order taker, a model provider, and an action monitor in which learners serve as models and action performers until they feel ready to speak out. Key words: young learners, total physical response (TPR), alternative method. INTRODUCTION “If a child can't learn the way we teach

comparison between Total Physical Response and Natural Approach. Total Physical Response is mainly based on the coordination of language and physical movement while Natural Approach emphasises communication and places decrease importance on conscious grammar study and explicit correction of student errors. We will have to do the similarities and differences, strength and weaknesses and the implementations between these two methods. 2.0 Similarities And Differences Total Physical Response and Natural Approach

Method Participants Each researcher in the class interviewed between one to two children within the following age group; 3-5, 8-10 and, 13-15 years old. As a total, there were 33 children involved in the experiment. There were 8 children ages 3-5 interviewed; 4 males and 4 females. There were 15 children ages 8-10 interviewed; 8 males and 7 females. There were 10 children ages 13-15 interviewed; 6 males and 4 females. The participants were selected because the experimenter knew the child they were

onto a pre-prepared category analysis form (appendix 1). The categories, Physical, Character, Relationships and Inner, were adapted from Rosenberg’s (see appendix 2). Each sentence read out by the interviewer was taken to constitute one statement. The statements were then coded. To ensure coding consistency, each statement was reviewed against the criteria for the inner category, then relationships, then character and then physical. Only if there was no way it could be said to fit within the ‘higher’

A disadvantage of using total duration per session is that it would not be the best measure of observation for behaviors that do not occur at very high rates (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2014). Reliability with total duration per session can be shown by using inter- observable agreement and measuring tools

‘Direct Method’ became widely known in the United States through its use by Sauveur and Maxmilian Berlitz. Sauveur (1907) suggested that a foreign language could be taught without translation or the use of the learner’s native tongue. However, Direct method failed to consider the practical realities of the classroom. The Direct method represented the product of the enlightened amateurism. It involved several drawbacks. It was largely dependent on the teacher’s skill rather than on a textbook so not

to fatigue with 1 "yes" or 0 "No" response. LFESSQ was successfully used to screen for FM in patients and general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the tool is 100% and 53%, respectively. It showed test–retest reliability of 100% among people who screen negative and it has a positive predictive value of 57%. Patients are diagnosed with FM if they meet pain criteria alone or both pain and fatigue criteria. Meeting pain criteria requires "yes" response to all 4 pain items; and fatigue criteria
