Günter Gerngross demonstrates a TPR sequence with a class of children using Playway Second edition. The children learn vocabulary using mimes, gestures and drawings on the board. Find out more about Playway at www.cambridge.o...
Thank you for watching this video! From 25th April 2022, we won’t be sharing any new content on this channel. We’d love for you to join us over at ru-vid.com for many more teaching and learning videos.
You can check for comprehension after teaching the terms, you have them close their eyes and do the actions... you're constantly also repeating. Unlike some language classes where you might work on some long lists of vocabulary and then move on to the next chapter, with TPR, you're constantly practicing the old while adding the new. That's what distinguishes it: repetition for the brain to acquire.
Thanks a lot for your amazing show of teaching kids. It's really creative method and helps teachers to make their lessons exiting and more effective. I'm a teacher in the kindergarten and always use TPR in my practice.😉
Hi! I think the images on their books were not in the same order of the audio. Students may have had to look for the pictures and write the correct number according to what they heard.
As if! I have 23: 3 that can’t hold pencils, 2 with ADHD, 15 that can’t speak English and can’t understand a word I’m saying. This isn’t relevant anymore.
CENTRA STUDIOS While TPR is mostly used with children, it’s a very effective strategy that can be used to teach students of all ages about just about anything. A relatively known application is its adaptation to SLA (Second Language Acquisition)as TPRS Teaching [for] Proficiency [thru] Reading [and] Storytelling. The use of TPRS in the teaching of world languages and its successful outcomes has been studied for quite a while: along with Dr. Krashen’s research explaining the underlying neuropsychology of second language acquisition and comparing it to first language acquisition, the research has shown TPRS to be far superior to traditional ‘teaching about language’ b/c it’s modelled after the natural process we experienced when learning our first language.
It is nice teaching like this but to children ,normal, like them. I am teaching in Spain and it is impossible to treat them like this. They can never be quiet, calm and obedient. I feel like I am teaching to some unrest creature, and ..finishing the class, I have no voice left!
Maybe you have to try another kind of activities with your students. Not all the kids are the same and you can't use the same method with eeeeeeeveryone.
Children don't go to an English or even a language school to learn something like "normal students", they go to school to play and you should input English through of the play.
clearly students on the video already know the language (they're not coping with a teacher saying things they don't understand) and obviously they knew they were being recorded which means their behavior was affected, no normal classroom looks like that...
Jesus, I've just discovered that I used TPR method with kids some years ago but wasn't aware of it as a method :-) It's pretty cool to work with it because the kids get excited and they start speaking English quite soon. They even tried playing the same games with their parents.
I have used this method once, but I asked the pupils for suggestions as to what movements we should do. Some got to decide and those were not necessarily the most gifted speakers, readers or writers, so that was a boost to their self confidence I guess. Anyway, we learned a poem by heart this way, and it was very popular. For weeks they asked me to do it again and so we did.
Sorry, but that's at max a demonstration of how teachers should work with children (liked the joyful faces) but the method isn't getting clearly distinguished from others. They can reproduce the sentences in a different order? Please, it takes milliseconds to check out what the neighbour is doing and just copy that gesture. "You mom makes an ieeeky noise". Ieeeky is so clear, even a deaf person could read that from the teachers lips. So what's the advantage of TPR except that involves gestures?
The focus is on comprehesion over speaking. Notice the teacher didn't go over any grammar exercises as well. From day 1 the students can feel like they can comprehend the language they're trying to learn and be more confident in deciphering the context of what is being said in the real world.
