Based on James Asher's Total Physical Response (TPR),
Action-Based Grammar Practice Exercises: Student's Pairwork Book is a resource for teachers who wish to include actions in the practice of grammatical structures. It can be used in conjunction with any coursebook or methodological approach. It can also be used as a stand-alone language practice book in which learners, working with a partner, develop their listening and speaking skills outside the classroom. The materials consist of 28 units of action-based exercises organized by grammatical topics (adjectives, adverbs, etc.). There is also a preparatory unit, 14 resource pages and 7 appendices.
