Quote by Asher: explicit learning that emphasizes error-free production, correct form an dconscious rule learning, most will quit before even reaching the intermediate level.
In 1960s, James asher offers TPR as an alternative to the audiolingual approach. The cognitive process of LA is in step with phsuical movements. The child is conciosu of language and its meaning in context, similar to first language acquisition.
Mistakes are okay--lower anxiety. Not simply for simple action verbs, can also be used with other nonphsyical elements of language (past and future tenses, and more). This makes sense considering the fact that grammar is being internalized inductively with this method.
Some useful tips are offered: lessons can be organized around saparts of the body, number, spatial relationships, emotions, giving directions.
