The effects of using total physical response (TPR) on EFL young learners' vocabulary and speaking fluency

Abstract

This study aims at the investigation of the effects of using the TPR approach in teaching vocabulary to very young learners; and to explore the attitudes of young learners towards learning vocabulary using the TPR approach; when TPR is applied in EFL teaching and creating effective classroom activities. From the review of related literature, pedagogical implications would be made to help EFL teachers take TPR into account while teaching a foreign language and familiarize EFL teachers with implications of this language teaching method in the classroom.
