Abstract
The growing demand for effective foreign language instruction in preschool and primary education has encouraged educators to explore innovative teaching methods that correspond to children’s cognitive and psychological characteristics. One of the most widely recognized approaches is Total Physical Response (TPR), developed by James Asher. This method integrates language learning with physical movement, allowing learners to acquire vocabulary and structures through actions rather than memorization. The present study examines the effectiveness of TPR in teaching English to young learners. The findings suggest that TPR enhances motivation, improves listening comprehension, reduces language anxiety, and facilitates vocabulary retention. The study also discusses the limitations of the method and proposes recommendations for its effective implementation in educational settings.
