TPR has become a worldwide business (see www.tpr-world.com),soit makes sense to try and determine which of the principles involved are business/marketing-orientated and which are strictly pedagogic.
I have enjoyed using varieties of TPR for a long time,and if there is a weakness to be found it would have to be the difficulty involved in employing TPR for the purpose of teaching abstract language.Not all thing we do are "physical"and not all of our thinking is orientated around the visible physical universe.To seme extent you can be innovative and even develop "physical" manifastations of abstract and/or mentally-based verds to the directly obvious visible and physically "doable" I believe this makes it a great method for young learners before they develop enough cognitively to start considering more abstract concepts.
