What is TPR actually?
Learning a language by total physical response = it's learning by doing.
Classical TPR:
- use of imperative form
- every word attached to physical action
- no translation = thinking in the target language
Is this the same as the idea that you had before the workshop?
The truth is that before the workshop I didn't have a concrete idea, I knew it consisted on gicing commands but I hadn't thought carefully about it.

I had no idea of what TPRS was, but I already knew something about TPR. The thing I've learned from the workshop that you have to repeat everything over and over again.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenbefore the workshop i had a vague idea on what tpr could be, however i didnt think about it in depth and was quite surprised when it was just about physical response and not verbal.
