Teaching Japanese With Total Physical Response-Storytelling Method

Summary/Abstract: In this work, Total Physical Response-Storytelling Method is informed. The objectives and the teaching principles of the method, learners and teachers roles in the method, teaching materials and grammar teaching of the method are explained. Total Physical Response Method is developed by Asher in 1970s. It is a language teaching method built around the coordination of speech and action; it attempts to teach language through physical (motor) activity. In this method, the development of reading and writing skills and vocabulary teaching for advanced level is inadequate. For these reasons in 1990s Blain Ray added the story telling part to the method. Thus, the method is developed and the shortcomings of the method is addressed. By using the story, vocabulary and grammatical structures are taught in the context. Story narration is supported by motor activities, group work, role play tecniques and audio-visual tools. Thus the new information is encoded to the long term memory. It is associated with daily life so it makes easier for the recall. In this work, the stages of storytelling is also described. In this work, TPRS is used for teaching Japanese and the teaching material is developed. For this reason the developed material and the assesment tool is presented. As a result of the evaluation, the new vocabulary and the grammatical structure was remembered by the participants so permanency has created the impression that language teaching by TPRS is achieved.
