The basic technique of TPR is simple. Learners act out commands given by the teacher or their
fellow pupils (at a later stage). These commands, or series of commands, are simple at the beginning
(stand up, sit down) but after some time they may become more complex (I want the boys to stand in a circle
please). A TPR sequence can be a chain of actions relating to a compound task (take pen and paper, sit
down, begin at the top of your paper, write down: Dear ...) or even contain a story-line.
