Re: Teaching the under-10 age group.

Well, you won't have to wait long, I intend to reply very soon. However, clear your mind of any existing biases you may have. If someone on here wants to criticize TPR it does not not mean they are morons and fools and idiots. TPR is just another teaching method IMO, it was not some "breakthrough" as many have claimed it is.

It is useful for some learners, young ones, but it should only be used in moderation. I am going to reply to Turnoi and as well post my own feelings in regard to the topic.

I'm sure that this method was used in the stone-age. There have always been teachers of one description or another using this method. This Asher person has merely done a Mr T on it and called it his own. I am sure we have all used it instinctively without knowing somebody else has given it a fancy name and repackaged it. I agree with you SB, it has its place but could well be overused.
