Using Movement to Teach Advanced Vocabulary in English

When we teach advanced vocabulary in English or another language, students can often learn more easily if we associate a movement with each word. This use of movement and muscle memory to connect to the brain is often called “TPR” or “Total Physical Response.”

By linking a physical action or movement to a word’s core meaning, students can more easily grasp and remember vocabulary. This is true even when teaching advanced vocabulary! We can actually use movement or TPR to teach abstract, intangible words, as well as words with more physical or tangible meanings.
