Total Physical Response T.P.R
When children listen and follow teacher’s instructions, doing everything that the teacher says: the child must understand and memorize the
actions, responding only through movement and action. The difficulty of the input increases gradually. TPR can involve listening and doing actions
with a song or just responding to the teacher’s commands. There are 3 major phases:
-pre-teaching key words-Listen, watch and do
-Listen and do (jumple order)
ACQUISITION vs LEARNING
Lexical acquisition is involuntary, it is something uncontrollable and unconscious.
Primarily in infants and children but also adults. Children and especially babies hear sounds and through their senses
perceive an action occurs or a particular sequence of sounds are related to any object, then your brain stores these sounds or signs with action,
object, or idea of a bound form . Thus the vocabulary is formed.
Learning is the opposite of the acquisition. Occurs voluntarily and consciously. The individual looking to expand your vocabulary in a
controlled manner, recognizing the need to know the meaning of a word and seeks ways to know that information.
SILENT PERIOD
Silent period, an interval of time during which students feel unable to communicate orally in the foreign language.
Although children are much more motivated to express themselves and try new things, they can also feel embarrassment or shyness
and they might pass through a silent period.
MOTHER TONGUE

E.F.L. (English Foreign Language)

Digital Literacy includes the ability to read and interpret media, to reproduce data and images through digital manipulation, and
to evaluate and apply new knowledge gained from digital environments.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES
The theory of multiple intelligences is a theory of intelligence that differentiates it into specific (primarily sensory) "modalities", rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general
ability.
The idea of multiple intelligences is important because it allows for educators to identify differing strengths and weaknesses in students and also contradicts the idea that intelligence can be
measured through IQ(intelligence quotient).
TARGET LANGUAGE
Target language is a language that someone is learning, or a language into which a text has to be
translated.
