Norliza, I wish I could give you a specific, up-t0-date answer. Unfortunately, I do not have my texts with me here. I suggest that you search for texts that deal with an overview of language methodologies. Look up "language methods" or "language methodologies". Go into the main language publication companies such as Heinle and Heinle, Cambridge Books; Oxford Texts. I also suggest the following texts: "Innovative Approaches to Language Teaching" by R. Blair, 1982 (It's an old text but should contain direct method) and "Making it Happen: Interaction in the second language classroom" by P.S. Richard-Amato, 1988. You also might check the authors Richards and Omaggio. I wish I could give you more up to date references, but these are the ones I used when I did my degree. All the best in your TESOL work.

I wish there was a book.  I've found the best way is to simply talk to other teachers.  Borrow their ideas and shape them into what will work for you and your class.  It seems like at most staff developments the best you can hope to come away with is a few good ideas.

To my understanding, it is a language acquisition method. The teacher begins with basic commands, like "sit down" and demonstrates it. The studentsthe students do it with her, learn to associate the action with the command, and eventually can use the comand in the target language. The goal is to submerge the students in a foreign language environment and eventually have them speaking as much as possible in the target language. Some teachers use alot of props and visual clues to reinforce meaning. \nA similar idea is TPR story telling. \nThere are a lot of books out that relate specicifcally to TPR and TPRS. Teacher's Discovery used to carry several. I'm not sure if they still do. There is a book by Fransico Cabello called "Total Physical Response in First Year Spanish". I think he has some for other languages as well. \nYou might want to try the sites below for more info.

Your question is a good one for sure, but probably requires much more than most of us usually do in one answer.  Here is part of it and should get you started ...\n\n"The Silent Way is the name of a method of language teaching devised by Caleb Gattegno.  The Silent Way views learning as a problem-solving, creative, discovering activity, in which the learner is a principal actor rather than a bench-bound listener.  The main features could be stated as follows:\n\n1)  Learning is facilitated if the learner discovers or creates rather than re­ members and repeats what is to be learned. \n\n2)     Learning is facilitated by accompanying (mediating) physical objects. \n\n3)    Learning is facilitated by problem solving involving the material to be learned."\n\nI like this approach to learning, and used it a great deal.  It supports the statement, "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn or show me and I understand." \n\nThe Silent Way approach gets children involved in their own learning.  When children are actively involved they learn.\n\nYou might want to research Jerome Bruner for more information.  In terms of discussing application of this method in the classroom, you could easily incorporate Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theories, which might enhance your assignment.\n\nBest of luck with your work.

Pay attention to the way the teacher poses questions and then adapts the students' answers into follow-up questions. Watch how children respond to questioning as well as which children the teacher focuses on the most and least. How does the teacher's attention affect students not actively involved in the exhange? (i.e. does in encourage or discourage others from attempting to get involved?)\n\nLook at the way each area of the room is set up and determine how language instruction has been integrated. Also, ask yourself how the teacher integrates language (vocabulary building, grammar and usage) into other subject lessons.\n\nI'd have to know the grade level to be more specific. Hope this helps a little.

TPR--total physical response (for beginners).  (Google)\nTPRS-entire method--works wonderfully and engages students\ninfo gap activities--prepare a master with information about your topic (what people look like, where they're going).  White out half the information on each of two copies.  Give half the students one sheet and half the other.  They speak to each other to find the rest of the info. (google information gap)\nflyswatter--write a lot of vocab. on board or project lots of pictures.  You call the target language word and they rush to slap the English with a flyswatter or you call the English and vice versa.\nTeam picture telephone.  Have a good picutre using vocab. you're working with.  several kids look at picture.  Run to next person on team and explain picture.  That person runs to next person and explains picture.  That person runs to last person who draws.  At each stage students can run back and forth to the next person, but not all the way.  Target language only.  Fun chaos.\n\nThere are lots and lots of websites with games and activities for second langauge learning.  Try eslcafe.com (easily adapted to different langauges.) Google Foreign Language methods, or FLTeach (language teachers listsev) and access the archives.  Or join FLTeach and ask your question on list.

I think just some basic stories.  Many children's books are entirely in the simple present tense.  Try baby books or easy readers.  Hilight the verbs and demonstrate in class.  Have you heard of Total Physical Response Storytelling?  It's a fantastic way to teach languages.\n\nDon't listen to the jerks who answered this question.  I am a teacher and know where you're coming from.  I can't believe some people act like such idiots!  Hey, tarotpete, check your example sentence.  You need to remove the "a" for it to make sense!  LMAO!   Nice!  And bo_hic_a, if you think teachers are overpaid, why don't you try it?  We'll see if you last five minutes in front of a classroom full of teenagers!\n\nGood luck!
