TPR

TPR (Total Physical Response) is very important technique which enhance students achievement specially for English language teaching. It's  similar somehow to how baby learn the native language from his family.  The activities can be designed by using TPR. The main idea is to ask students to do some thing physically by voice commands, for example: you can use action verbs with any topic:
- pick the red ball up, then walk to the board, paste it on the board
- take the nose (picture show the nose), jump to the corner, through it in the basket.
- fly to your friend MHD, put your hand on his head (body part)
finally think how can you benefit of this technique.
