IntroductionWith the dramatically rapid development of economy and science, the wind of learning English has swept the whole kindergartens in China. And recent years have witnessed plenty of English classes opened, some becoming successful, w
10、hile most of English classes ending in failure. And as the first step of learning English for kindergarten children, ABC plays a significant role in making children adapt to their second language. “ABC letters have irreplaceable value in daily life” (Zheng, 1979), while it is difficult to find the m
11、ost suitable method for teachers and English beginners. And it arouses public concern which people need to pay more attention to Chinas bilingual education.In the past decades, continuous methods and approaches have been carried out by experts, which have great influence on teaching children ABC, fo
12、r instance, traditional methods of repeating ABC, and Audio-visual methods, while most of them fail to hold water. Taking the method of repeating as an illustration, most of teachers tend to use this method in teaching ABC. From their perspective, ABC is quiet simple to remember by repeating in a co
13、rrect way. Otherwise, childrens thinking is always directed when remembering some familiar letters, so the most effective way is to repeat it and practice it more. And, as feedback of this method, a growing number of citizens pay no heed and even reject it. Referring to the audio-visual method, ther
14、e is no denying fact that this method priors to many approaches which have few advantages in teaching ABC. And it shows colorful picture attached to video, which can attract childrens attention. However, audio-visual method makes too much emphasis on showing colorful picture to children and lacks of
15、 gaming time, which does not take childrens feeling into consideration. These two methods may be the tip of iceberg among all unsuitable methods; thus, putting forward an effective approach can satisfy childrens needs, which becomes a hot issue in teaching ABC. The best method that the author prefer
16、s to is TPR approach, and it will be carried out in the following chapter.2. Literature Review In the last century, the group of seeking for better methods to teach children ABC became larger and larger. Among them, one of the most influential methodologies was introduced into language teaching, who
17、se name is TPR approach. And TPR approach was first promoted by Dr. James J. Asher in the late 1960s.2.1 TPR approachIn order to have a better understanding of TPR approach in teaching ABC, this part is divided into three parts: the definition of TPR; teaching principals of TPR, and the features of
18、TPR. 2.1.1 The definition of TPR approachTrace back to 1960s, Dr. James J. Asher pointed out the rules that learners would respond by a series of body language according to teaching instruction. Total Physical Response approach makes full use of childrens right brain to attract their attentions and
19、reduce their anxiety and stress in learning the second language. “TPR is based on the premise that the human brain has a biological program for acquiring any natural language on earth-including the sign language of the deaf”(J. Asher, 1969). And it really conforms to some famous theories except the
20、theory of right brain and left brain divide; for instance, childhood language acquisition theories demonstrates that golden period for children learning language is 2-10 years old, in which period the will of learning new knowledge is so strong that children can absorb new knowledge in the interacti
21、ve mode.2.1.2 Teaching principals of TPR approachFirst of all, it is said that students comprehensive ability should be developed before they open their mouth (Wang, 2005). On no account should students be given extra pressure if they have less preparation to speak, children would be nervous. Beside
22、s, according to research, “Total Physical Response advocates that the language and behavior should be linked up and the teaching of English could be through body movements” (Du, 2010). Lastly, children are exposed to huge amounts of language input before speaking; thus, it is a wrong way to force ch
23、ildren to speak out before they can understand requirements in the process of teaching ABC. However, if children are pushed to follow teachers step and speak out, their brains will reject this instruction which will make fault to express the clear meaning. In the real situation of teaching ABC, teac
24、hers should create different forms of teaching instruction, in accordance with distinct traits, such as class, childrens age, the degree of English level and detailed materials. When referred to the fundamental steps of teaching ABC with TPR approach, firstly, training students listening comprehensi
