What are the main hypotheses of James Asher about learning second languages that are embodied in the Total Physical Response method?
1
grammar and vocabulary are taught inductively
2
the brain is naturally predisposed to learn language through listening
3
pronunciation is taught from the beginning, often by students working in language laboratories on discriminating between members of minimal pairs
4
teachers want their students to be able to use the target language communicatively
5
language forms do not occur by themselves; they occur most naturally within a context
