Principle 3 Learning through actions
Understanding must be developed through movements of the 
learner’s body. Researchers found out that most grammatical struc-
tures of the target language and hundreds of vocabulary items can 
be learned through the skilful use of the imperative by the teacher. 
(G. J. Asher, Total Physical Response).
This method was successfully adopted in many countries across 
the world and got enormous feedback.  huge amount of scientific 
researches were done, lots of books and articles published, as well as 
films showing impressive results of learners. 
A child learns own language by exposure to the language and 
through actions which follow language utterances. Language input 
followed by a body movement allows a learner to decipher the mean-
ing immediately at many levels of awareness including phonology, 
morphology, syntax and semantics. A few exposures to a language 
sample in the context of body movement ensures: a) the compre-
hension of novel sentences (ones they have never heard before); b) 
unusually long-term retention (similar to capability to ride a bicy-
cle); and c) the linguistic achievement was accomplished seemingly 
without effort – in a stress-free activity.
