James Asher

James Asher is an educator and linguist known for developing the Total Physical Response (TPR) method of language teaching. TPR emphasizes using physical movement to help learners acquire new languages naturally, similar to how children learn their mother tongue. By combining actions with words, students develop better comprehension and recall while reducing anxiety. Asher’s approach encourages active participation and mimics real-life language use, making learning engaging and effective. His contributions have significantly influenced modern language teaching, especially in early education and interactive learning environments.
