Chapter Two Literature Review 

Four parts are included in this chapter. The first part talks about the brief introduction of TPR method, the second is to discuss the main features of TPR method and the last two parts  respectively  focus  on  the  foreign  studies  and  domestic  studies  on  TPR  and  its applications in China.

2.1 Brief introduction of the TPR method  
TPR  which  is  short  for  the  total  physical  response  is  firstly  put  forward  by  the American psychologist James Asher in the 1960s. James Asher has the following opinions:  (1)  The  “tracing  theory”  tells  us  that  the  memory  which  has  the  more  frequent  and drastic  associations  will  be  more  easily  to  be  evoked.  Thus,  combining  the  acts  with language is beneficial to keep the experienced things in mind. That is to say, being taught a foreign  language  through  the  means  of  making  physical  movements  will  be  helpful  to  a foreign language studying and memorizing.  (2)  The  second  language  acquisition  is  similar  to  the  baby’s  learning  of  the  mother language. At the very beginning, they will accept as much information as possible, which most of the time is in mandatory sentences. Before learning how to use a language, babies often react to the language which is spoken to them by making some physical movements. The second language acquisition is much like the baby’s language learning process which is in the procedure of listening—making physical movements ---speaking out the language.  (3) When babies start to speak a language, the parents will always encourage them to speak more rather than directly correct their mistakes. When the babies grow up a bit more, parents  will  begin  to  cultivate  the  children  how  to  speak  better  and  more  accurate.  The second language learning is also like this, in which the teacher should not always interrupt the language learners to correct their mistakes, since this will greatly damage the language beginners studying confidence and activeness. After some period of time, teacher can have a higher requirement on the language learners’ expressions and the correction of students’ mistakes  will  be  carried  out  skillfully  which  is  to  protect  students’  language  learning confidence and make them feel less pressure in language learning process.

2.2 The Features of TPR Method  
The first feature is that the main teaching pattern of TPR method is the listening and responding, which is also the most prominent feature of TPR method.  The  TPR  method  is  based  on  the  children’s  language  acquisition  pattern.  Before children start to speak, 本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
