    So, I guess we all learned from this video that the TFR Method should only be used in beginner levels to give them vocabulary and build some comprehension skills. It doesn't mean it's supposed to be used during the whole course, but it's just one part of it.

    It's a good way to present new language items, especially phrasal items to command

    Teacher didn't understand the question (11.57). The students wants to know what the teacher says "dust cloth" and the word "toilet". She said "isn't it like a 'small toilet". She wasn't talking about "duster". The student was confused about the word "toilet" which is similar to "towel" (not sure if her 1st language was Spanish, so the word would be similar to "toalla") or maybe she was thinking of "toilet paper". If I were the student, I would be more confused with that answer because the teacher gave me another different word (duster) I wasn't asking about. I think the teacher should have explained the student that the word she was using "toilet" has a different meaning or complete it with "toilet paper".

    I think the teacher did understand what the student was trying to convey: she said that *it's hard to find dusters so usually we just use a dust cloth*. The teacher was trying to elicit "duster" when the student said "toilet". We don't use toilet paper for house cleaning. If I had been the teacher, I would've been confused with that option to clean the house...

    Not sure if that is TPR but i used movement in the learning process once we covered the vocabulary. We moved the tables out of the way asked for a confident student he went to the end of the classroom, the others took paper sheets with a word on one side and translation on the other, they slowly walk in a row toward him/her and has to translate the word correct before they reach him, if he fails they go to the back of the row and flip the paper sheet if he is correct they leave the row, after a minute or two, someone else switches places with the student

    I do like the idea applied in the TPR method, but I guess it only works when you have starter and elementary students. It is kind of boring when used in the most advanced levels, right? Another negative point, in my opinion, is that students do not have the chance to speak the language there are studying. It’s a lot of TTT. I suppose that one month using this method would demotivated any student.

    The students are capable of talking a lot more than they do. One woman asked a question that demonstrates they are certainly capable of speaking English. And don't we normally teach the imperative in TPR on the first day of class?

    So students are competent enough in the target language to understand everything the teacher says but they need to learn these very basic commands?

    I don't think they're very basic commands. Also, they don't need to understand everything the teacher says, just the general meaning of what she's saying.

    This class was a monologue. I get it when it is part of the class to respond fisically to commands, but imagine students doing that for almost an hour. They didn't develope any conversation or whatsoever. Besides that they spent all this time and learnt just a few words?
