What is TPR/S?

TPR/S is an oral/aural techinque used in Mr. Lawhead's class to enhance students oral fluency.  Using hand gestures to tell stories assists students in learning vocabulary and to be fluent in describing the world around them.  Mr. Lawhead uses stick-figure stories on the board or paper to present students with new situations to talk about.  The video shows a student telling a story to her partners.  No English is allowed during this time.
