TPR教学法在少数民族大学英语教学中的应用研究——以德宏师专为例

TRP(Total Physical Response)是一种突出视觉、听觉、触觉等多种感官刺激的学习方法,其主要的教学思想就是将抽象的语言知识通过各种感官动作进行呈现,本质上是一种语言理解能力的训练方式。因此这种教学方法以其较强的实践特点受到了广泛的应用,特别是针对于少数民族英语教学的领域。由于德宏地处边疆,多种少数民族杂居,教育水平存在明显的地区差异,很多少数民族学生知识体系结构薄弱,TRP教学法的应用有着非常重要的现实意义。为此本文结合德宏师专英语教学的现状,分析了TPR教学法在大学英语教学活动的中实践应用。

TRP (Total Physical Response) is an outstanding learning method which stimulates learners’ vision, audition, tactile sense and its main teaching idea is to present the abstract knowledge of the language through a variety of sensory actions. It is essentially a training method for verbal comprehension. Therefore, with its strong practical features TPR has been widely used, especially in English teaching for the national minority students. Located in the border area, there has long been a variety of minorities groups living in Dehong Autonomous Prefecture.
