Therefore, Asher decided
to create a stress-free
approach to
learning a second
language that used
many methods
found in the first
language
learning experience.
According to Asher, TPR is based on the premise that
the human brain has a biological program for acquiring
any natural language on earth - including the sign
language of the deaf. The process is visible when we
observe how infants internalize their first language.
TPR is offered as an example of a general approach
called ¶comprehension approach·.

For absolute beginners lessons
may not require the use of
materials since the teacher·s
voice, actions and gestures may be
sufficient. The teacher can use
basic classroom objects such as
books, pens etc. As the course
develops, the teacher will need to
collect new materials. These may
include pictures, realia, slides,
word charts.
