Abstract:The basic idea behind Total Physical Response is that a language learner learns to physically respond to things heard in foreign language. That is that the learner learns to comprehend things said in the language by a teacher. Often at first, these words are simple commands. By using gestures and props, the teacher is able to create a non-linguistic context to his speech to convey meaning to the learner. The paper directs the attention to using TPR in young children’s foreign language learning.
Key words:didactics, second language, body awareness, physical reaction, motor learning
