Why so many gestures, Claire?


Some parents are curious about why I spend so much time waving my hands around in the air and getting the children to do the same.   This technique is based on a learning theory called Total Physical Response (TPR).  I have found a great explanation on the British Council blog which describes:
  • Where TPR is from
  • How it can be used in class
  • When it should be used
  • Why it should be used
  • A few useful variations
  • Are there any disadvantages with using TPR?
