Acting is a useful form in TPR teaching methods. In fact, life is a big stage, and all men and women are merely players. So every word to teach can be presented in the stage by acting. According to the word or several words, teachers can design the various plots of acting. Children, as the protagonists of their studies, have the freedom to design their unique screenplay and physical movements.

2.2 The Audio-lingual Method

As the name indicates, this method advocates listening and speaking. Generally speaking, it is based on the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) that is a special training program to supply the U.S. government with multi-lingual ability. The theory of language underlying Audio-lingual method was derived from structural linguistics. An important tenet of structural linguistics is that the primary medium of language is oral: Speech is language. Audio-lingualists advocate a return to speech-based instruction with the primary objective of oral proficiency and dismiss the study of grammar or literature as the goal of foreign language teaching. The basis of audio-lingual classroom practices is made up of dialogues and drills. Being a teacher-dominated method, it views learners as organisms that can be directed by skilled training techniques to produce correct responses.
