Methods of Instruction

Imperative drills are the major class activities in a Total Physical Re­sponse Method. They are typically used to elicit physical actions and activity on the part of the learners. Other activities include role plays and slide presentations. Role plays center on everyday situations, such as at the restaurant, supermarket, or gas station. Games and Challenges are the ways in which the students improve their vocabulary and use of the commands with a real purpose. The Communicative Approach is also part of the instructions, in which the class will be directed by the teacher’s instructions and the students’ interaction. It is going to focus on oral and listening skill’s development and it will be aimed to develop social values, citizen responsibilities, leadership and pride.

The participation is up to the students.
