Summary of Approaches: - The TPR method focuses on the teacher using their body to demonstrate, mime and act out language as students learn it. It is rooted in the belief that when action is combined with language, learning is boosted. This can be especially useful for younger learners and is a preferred method for some online teaching platforms. However, it isn't really suitable for teaching adults and is limited in its scope to younger learners at lower levels of language acquisition. Note that TPR was also never intended to be a stand-alone teaching method. It is ideally used in combination with other methods.
