Corresponding to Einstein's famous formula E=mc², TPR School has created its own unique formula for English study:
English = memory x communication²

Why TPR method?
American TPR English School has adopted a specific method of teaching called Total Physical Response or TPR for short. It was developed in the United States by the American experimental psychologist James J. Asher as a primary method for teaching oral language and has come to be recognized all over the world as a very effective approach to language learning. The School also uses Situation English to teach spoken English.
Teachers use pictures and other learning tools in class to create life or business scenes. They encourage students to speak English confidently. They help them to get into the habit of thinking in English so that they will acquire a natural response of speaking English spontaneously.
