Inspired by the successful teaching methods of Total Physical Response (TPR) and Total Physical Response Storytelling (TPR-S), this project expands on the premise of these methods by considering the potential for Indigenous language learning in Western drama practices. By incorporating the Western drama strategies of ‘movement’ and ‘role-play’ into Indigenous language pedagogy, a new teaching method can emerge -- Total Physical Response - Drama (TPR-D). To exemplify TPR-D in action, this project includes appended examples of activities in the Ts’msyen language, Sm’algyax. These materials are intended for Sm’algyax speakers, teachers, and learners and may be adapted by other Indigenous communities for their language use.enAvailable to the World Wide Webdrama methodIndigenous language revitalizationTotal Physical Response (TPR) methodTotal Physical Response Storytelling (TPR-S) methodproject
