Now group your students Salkowitz Student grouping TPR Personas 2 y 4 By countries By grade levels By seat numbers By cities Really by anything
Picking your words to TPR Backwards plan them from a goal Use highly frequent words Backwards plan from a reading Have a go to for brain breaks
Remember to use single and chain commands combined with Individual and group sequences
Story telling opportunities and tough groups The possibilities with TPR are really broad Often times the reluctant student doesn t understand If they do understand, give them a prop so they take being too cool to being important When you begin to ask more questions, you being to personalize and you begin to form a story
Our local expert...the one and only - Berty Segal Berty Segal Cook -- Teaching Language Through TPR Teaching language through TPR is a comprehensive guide of 102 English lesson plans implementing the TPR (Total Physical Response) approach to teaching language. An excellent tool for teaching beginning and intermediate students of ANY age level. Ten thematic units contain the essential vocabulary needed for survival and success in English. Each of the 10 thematic units contains: A target vocabulary list for the unit. 7 to 14 detailed lesson plans with review commands, new commands in the lesson and sample novel commands based on the new vocabulary in the lesson. Clear guidelines for conducting the lessons are provided. Vocabulary development is carefully controlled. Review lessons -- vocabulary is reviewed at the end of each unit. Review lessons are also used as tests. Record of mastery -- A Grid for recording Mastery, or need for further review, accompanies each Review Lesson. This provides a record of each student's progress and is helpful for reporting to parents, principal, etc.
Some theory on TPR - really interesting stuff! TPR - An Overview of Total Physical Response (Theory, History, Thoughts) Table of Contents 24sec - 02min 52secs What's This Video About? 02min 52secs - 11min 59secs History / Theory / How it Works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_P-RxYTKP0t=2m53s 11min 59secs - 19min 11secs Closing Thoughts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_P-RxYTKP0t=11m59s For a graduate assignment I was asked to look at a specific ESOL teaching approach. I chose TPR, which was developed by James J. Asher. In this video I attempt to sum up the origins of this theory and hopefully entice others to give it a look. The theory is strongly rooted in the inner workings of the brain. The sources for this video can be found at: http://www.travlanders.com/DL/TPR-Intro-video-sources.pdf
