The TPR Method

 Hello, it is nice to be back! 

Today we reviewed the Silent way Method. We started by arranging 10 rods in a shape and gave each one a specific sound from the IPA, depending on each rod color. I will show below our masterpiece!  :D Then, we made the respective SWOT analysis for the Silent Way Method and entered a new topic which is the Total Physical Response method (TPR).

 I had a blast! this was the most dynamic class so far. I learned that James Asher was the founder of the TPR, and it involves body movement to establish deep connections that remain in our brains for even decades! like the songs of our childhood, and some games in the classroom that up to this day, we still remember. The TPR also uses short commands so that the student after hearing the phrase over and over again, will eventually internalize it and produce it. Last but not least, one of the most important traits of this method is how playful and dynamic it is and how it makes students feel successful.

I really enjoyed this time and how you, teacher Orlando connected everything on purpose! (playing music in the background to introduce the new topic) You are great!

Here are some pics:
