THE EFFECTIVENESS OF USING THE “TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE” METHOD
Rizakulova Nodira Hikmatovna,
An English teacher of the secondary school #127,
Tashkent, Yakkasaroy 
Any house, as you know, starts with an architectural plan. Now we are all less afraid of the 
huge fortress called "Foreign language", on top of which proudly flies the flag (mostly British). 
Moreover, in this case, this required plan will provide knowledge of modern methods of studying.
Recently, when the market for educational technology is replete with suggestions for various 
methods of learning English, the question "what technique do you teach?" becomes increasingly 
important. The applicant, pupil, student or a businessman (though a student) often freezes in front 
of bookshelves with the linguistic literature and media-benefits and thoughtfully looks at a long 
list of advertisements. One of the selection criteria - price, but the main... "English for two weeks," 
"Communicative methodology of teaching English", "English at the subconscious level", in the 
end. So many new and unknown! And this creates doubt in the results. Can we trust modern 
technology? Or should we give preference to well-established "brands" such as "Bonk", "Round-
up" or "Headway", gradually turning into the methodological category of the classics?
In the traditional method of teaching foreign languages the main mass of information is often 
presented in the form of text in the textbook or the story of the teacher, which occasionally may be 
accompanied by illustrations or inscriptions on the Board, in contrast, the method of total physical 
response, English Total Physical Response (TPR) is one of the attempts to convey the necessary 
information and help to assimilate the students through all the main channels of perception: visual, 
auditory, kinesthetic.
So, what is the Total Physical Response itself? The method of total physical response for foreign 
language teaching was proposed and described by American psychologist James Asher in the 70s. 
The basis of it was based on the theory of the operation of the left and right hemispheres of the 
brain.
For what is each of them answering? The left hemisphere is mainly responsible for abstract and 
logical thinking and speech and the right for creative thinking, that is creativity, imagination and 
intuition.
Especially, the difference in the hemispheres becomes apparent during instruction. Indeed, 
in the conventional method, the information is mostly provided in the form of signs (including 
speech), when the student listens to the explanation of the teacher, reads the text or completes a 
series of exercises. While the right hemisphere, which specialize on images, remains practically 
without effect.
It is not necessary to idealize the TPR method, because it is not devoid of its disadvantages. 
What are its advantages compared to traditional techniques, and what disadvantages there is to 
understand.
In the classroom, which uses TPR method, students do not just listen to the teacher, but also 
participate directly in the learning process: repeat the words and phrases with different shades of 
emotional, take in hand a variety of items, moving, dancing. Vocabulary in this case is selected in 
such a way as to cover as many verbs of motion.
The method of total physical response, of course, has its drawbacks:
- for a start, the teacher just physically difficult often to teach such classes when you have to 
move actively along with the students;
- also during the lesson you have to use a lot of visual material which is not always easy to 
bring along;
- additionally, the TPR is almost no use of grammar in the usual form (rules explanations), 
that for an adult can seem like a serious problem in the study of the English language;
- finally, for adult can be difficult to engage in such activity due to the already formed 
stereotypes, and also because of the nature of the mental processes of this age.
It can be concluded that this method in the classroom in a language course in high school or in 
University is to use periodically.
But, to work with children of preschool and younger school age TPR method is very suitable, 
because of their creative thinking is still far more developed than abstract logic.
