Total Physical Response (TPR)

Watch how Herbert Puchta engages a group of very young learners by using an action story -- an imaginative idea developed by him and Günter Gerngross on how to use Asher's Total Physical Response (TPR) with very young learners

[@IK121266]

I am so glad I finally see Herbert Puchta. I have heard so much about him. When I started teaching English as a foreign language -ages ago!-, I was really impressed by the books written by Puchta and Gerngross but unfortunately, I was never able to use them at the schools where I worked. Thank you so much for the Helbling videos.

[@toshibanane2878]

guees he is the guy we used in our writing class as source for the topic ..

I love TPR, but this video only shows how to ensure learners understand the utterances. It is only the first two stages to helping them produce it. The next stage would be to have the learners copy what you are saying as well as what you are doing. This gives them pronunciation practice while continuing to consolidate meaning. A mime game, where the teacher acts and the children say, would check their ability to produce independently. Then surely the kids could 'be the teacher'. This stage is vital, as the learners are now able to see how what they say affects the world around them. To maximise learner output, they could finally try it in pairs.

[@patricianatividade6575]

What is exacly TPR!!

[@ronnygefferson5294]

Great vídeo. TPR is very effective and the students have a lot of fun. There is just one thing, TPR is not a METHOD, it is an APPROACH.

[@repentantpeople]

When using flashcards it's best to present them at eye level to the students, moving them horizontally which provides each student the ability to visually absorb the image. Also, make sure the students are positioned appropriately spaced so as not to restrict movement.

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me!

[@rafikayunisari9258]

TPR or total physical response is the most valuable method for learning vocabulary, especially idiomatic problems. with this method we have the means to recognize meaning in the language being learned quickly and the means to passively study the structure of the language itself

[@mashumarodango]

Before I watched this video, I was not sure how this method worked. Especially, the idea that students say nothing in class seems so strange to me. I could not imagine students learning without speaking. However, they seemed to enjoy learning English very much. This method definitely works well with small children. We can adopt this in Japanese elementary schools too.

[@perachen5976]

it's a great video.watching this video make me clear about TPR method, thanks..

[@MooncakeEnglish]

Thanks for sharing this video, TPR is a great way to teach young learners!

[@MossNathanReuben]

Funny, was just wondering how Gemma would do this. Ie: where the students level is low - and there are Chinese students, how would you go about teaching with words? It looks like he is doing most of the speaking which leads me to think that it would be better to get the children to repeat, talk. (sorry if I spelled your name incorrectly).

[@LitBritSer]

You can use this with adults and we often use these techniques. They are well known except they are more widely known as audio, tactile and visual. The use of flash cards is very important in this form of teaching. Herbert Puchta is a contributor to a number of books.

[@bosslady6198]

it will work well with adults in learning language you are right

[@leslielandry9032]

I would agree that it seems improbable that children who know very little to no english would be able to follow these instructions so well. It is a good demonstration of what TPR is.

[@EastlandEnglish]

Great methodology!

[@nazangenc6849]

The class was kinda focusing on the teaching of the verbs like "fly, drive, kiss" rather than the critical vocabs (plane, car, teddy and doll)

[@saranghamnida8170]

Great! We learned that in school . TPR...in our method of teaching for kids...it it quite effective and not boring...

I think this is quite efrective. But I think it might be even more effective if technology is used to reinforce the visual-kinetic learning in the classroom.

[@LaMaruccia]

An example of such technology?

[@user-iw7xm1yc8z]

Great!

[@saleh9946]

That's an ideal method for teaching a small number of pupils no more than 10 or 12, however here we've at least 30 in one class-if not more - and to add insult to injury, we're ordered to apply such methods or we'll get poor evaluation by the supervisor. How come!

Great way. Our Lutsk teachers created Method of associative symbols - Метод асоціативних символів . Kids learn English as a second language with the help of movements and mime different objects. In such age moving while studying is the key to success. You can find our method here in youtube too.

[@lamamurad6836]

What the summary plz?

[@israelcanova]

Adults should be taught a foreign language in this way

[@Voileen]

+Israel I teach adults and I use TPR - I try not to make it TOO "childish" - but I definitely use hand/body gestures and have them mimic/repeat ... it does seem to help!

[@mvirtual3714]

lol.. I agree

[@LuigiFlorini80]

I agree, it is better to match the language with the objects directly withouth using translator or converting the message that you're listening to your native language that actually it's a waste of time.

[@darija5494]

We never grow up

[@hriscubogdan2292]

[@katyornok63]

I don't see his choices as being too effective in portyraying meanings... "Teddy" is a BEAR and was named the "Teddy Bear" after Teddy Roosevelt, so I think BEAR should be used. Also, his actions of 'flying' and 'driving' seem vague

[@pedropablosolis8752]

Alguien Metodología 6 :V

[@kathrynrhodes4292]

I do not hear the students saying any words, in order to learn the new vocabulary. Neither do I see the teacher referencing the photos that he is practicing. I do not know the English level of the students but he is only talking and the students are only mimicking him. The students do not show that they can identify any of the words that he is introducing, such as "Where is the car?" or "Point to the plane." He is actually trying to teach a whole new set of verbs that seem to go with the nouns, but just using TPR would be acting without using the extending sentence frames.

[@hectorsanchez6908]

[@mrobertaaraneta3055]

Memory work. Not engaging. I believe teaching the sounds of alphabet starting with vowels and once that is mastered then move to the consonant sound. Kids would be more engaged learning the new language also read the words.

[@elizabethschlussel5143]

Puchta did a good job teaching the kids. It's a shame he hasn't eradicated the typical pronouciation errors German speakers of English make, i.e. "djumbled" instead of "j" and "ständ up" / "Thänk you"" instead of "stand" and "Thank you".

thats because you are an adult, TPR is focused on children you may be taught a second language with the community langauge learning approach or maybe with the task based learning method
