2. Inspirational Quote: "The lasting measure of good teaching is what the individual student learns and carries away" Barbara Harrell Carson, 1996, Thirty years of stories

3. Introduction: Total Physical Response is a stress-free technique which can play an essential role in developing language skills. With a dialogue, a pattern drill, a story, a game or a skit help your students move smoothly from one activity to another and keep them motivated all the time.

4. HOW !!! Use the lessons in your book as a dramatic script in which you are the director of the play and your students are the actors.

5. ACT 1 Utter directions in the target language and act with the students for the first part of the lesson so that they instantly understand the meaning of what you are saying. “ Stand up, sit down, switch off your mobile ……”

6. ACT 2 Later in Act 2 of the play, students will be ready to reverse roles with you and utter directions in the target language to produce actions from you and other students in the class.

7. WHEN & WHY !!! EARLY STAGES: To allow the Ss to respond without fear or hesitation To relieve the pressure on the Ss to speak before they are ready to do so ALL STAGES: To develop language skills To build vocabulary To clarify verb tenses & Q/A patterns

8. Best wishes for lifelong enjoyable learning
