Instructor′s Notebook: How to Apply TPR For Best Results
Ramiro reveals secrets about Total Physical Response(TM) (known worldwide as TPR), that he discovered during 28 years of teaching Spanish to students of all ages, including adults. That stunning success inspired his students to honor him with awards of The Most Remembered Teacher and Outstanding Teacher of the Year. Ramiro guides you step by step with TPR lessons you can use in any language to keep students engaged day after day. Many games, dialogues, and even tests are included.
You will love his book, and the companion book, Instructor's Notebook: TPR Homework Exercises. When language teachers asked Ramiro for more, he produced The Graphics Book in your choice of English, Spanish, French or German. The game that his students asked to play over and over is Ramiro's TPR Bingo.
For a solid understanding of the powerful linguistic tool of TPR, Ramiro recommends you use his books and games after you have read James J. Asher's classic book, Learning Another Language Through Actions, now in its 7th edition.
Ramiro Garcia earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in Spanish, and a master's degree in Linguistics from San Jose State University in San Jose, California.
