06.25.13 ~ Richard-Amato, Chapter 8
This chapter was all about TPR. Research was cited to show that TPR works better for teaching students language than traditional methods do. I had only vaguely heard of the concept of TPR before taking this class (although I have used similar strategies in my classes many times), so the chapter was an interesting read for me. I appreciate the fact that the chapter acknowledged that the more abstract concepts would be difficult to teach using TPR, and the suggestions of activities to do involving TPR were great! I do wish there had been more information provided on TPRS. I understand the concept but if there had been a more detailed list of suggestions for TPRS as well that would have been even better.
