刚刚，Tyger抛出了一个问题“语言的本质”是什么？大家各抒己见，非常热闹。
语言的本质：以声音为载体，建立声音和外界事物联系的声音系统。为人类所特有。
拼读的本质：音形对应
再此基础上，Tyger和大家聊聊TPR教学法。
TPR“Total Physical Response全身反应法”是上世纪60年代（那个语言学“火红的年代”）由美国心理学教授James Asher提出的。他分析研究母语实现的过程，倡导把“语言”和“行为”联系在一起，通过左右脑的共同协调训练建立语言思维，达到掌握外语的目的。
具体实现方式是：通过语言学习者听到一个外语指令，用身体动作对它做出对相应的反应，从而使听者逐渐自然建立语言能力。最典型的例子就是当听到“Stand Up”就从坐位上站起来，听到“Touch your nose”就去摸自己的鼻子。应用更多的手势和简单实物教具，TPR完全可以展示动词的不同时态以及复杂的句子形式。
T.P.R是典型的符合二语习得基本理念的一个非常有效的教学体系。TPR一般需要由有经验的教师辅导学生完成，特别是零基础者。但有一些基础的同学可以在学友之间甚至自己（先把指令录下）完成。
为此，Tyger设计了系列TPR词汇表，如图所示。
同时Tyger提供了一个句型，This is _________.
为什么突然想和大家说说TPR教学及词汇表呢？因为昨天Caleb的用口语表达的“蜗牛日记”让Tyger欣喜若狂。Caleb，7岁，是最适合TPR教学的年龄，Tyger希望把TPR教学法介绍给他和他妈妈。
同时Tyger又想，其实我们许多其他孩子也是需要的。Tyger认为有一点基础的同学也要自己尝试一下TPR。通过TPR的经历，可以很好地帮助建立英文思维。所以同学们不要认为：我懂Stand up的意思，不用做了。知道你懂了，但可能它只是一个记忆中的知识或中文的解释，它还不是你思维的一部分。直到重复过几遍，最后能迅速对指令不假思索地作出反应后，才逐渐实现融入自己的思维。大家可以想象这对咱们今后听复杂句子的“反应速度”会有多么重大影响。所以，我决定在新概念学员中系统介绍下TPR教学法。
“教学相长”是Tyger的教育信条，更多TPR词汇，请过目。Tyger有计划把所有的TPR词汇设计出来，这样大家使用起来就方便许多。期待和大家互动出更多的教学成功。
我们一起加油！
