TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE AS A VOCABULARY TEACHING STRATEGY IN EARLY ENGLISH EDUCATION
Main Article Content
Abstract:
This scientific article describes the application of the Total Physical Response (TPR) method in elementary English language classrooms as an effective strategy for vocabulary teaching, providing a wide and in-depth analysis of its use. The study examines the psycholinguistic, pedagogical, and methodological foundations of the TPR method and scientifically justifies its compatibility with the psychological and cognitive development characteristics of elementary-age learners. The article also presents a comparative analysis of traditional vocabulary teaching methods and the TPR method, highlighting the increased effectiveness, advantages, and certain limitations of TPR. Research results confirm that the use of the TPR method in elementary English education significantly contributes to vocabulary development, enhances long-term retention, and increases students’ interest and engagement in classroom activities.
