Teaching english through total physical response storytelling

Abstract:

This Tesina is based on an action analysis to improve the learning of English language in students from Septimo de Básica, at Centro Educativo Agustin Crespo Hebkp_redia . They are our candidates to learn English Language in a different way. Throughout our analysis, we are going to apply the foreign language method known as Total Physical Response Storytelling (TPRS) to promote students English language acquisition, and enjoyment of English learning. Experienced teachers state that within TPRS, students learn English and other languages through stories, dramatic play, and body movements. Using TPRS, teachers provide instruction exclusively in the target language, foster a brain-body connection, and engage students in developmentally appropriate activities. Our project is based on three sections; they are: Total Physical Response Storytelling and its Historical Context, How to apply TPRS for best results, and A Practical Application of TPRS. As part of our analysis, we are going to apply this interesting method using a short story as our basic resource to increase new vocabulary or new structures. Furthermore, we are going to focus on keeping students meaningfully engaged, encouraging all class members to participate, encouraging students to use the target language, improving listening and speaking skills because Total Physical Response by Storytelling is a powerful tool to use in teaching a foreign language
