QUESTION 1:
Read the following statement and answer the questions below.

learners see themselves successfully executing the tasks. For example, the teacher
can model actions like "clap your hands" or "touch your toes," and students would
imitate these actions, gradually building familiarity with the language.
Using Real-life Contexts:
TPR activities can be designed to simulate real-life scenarios, making language
learning more relatable and less intimidating for learners. For instance, the teacher
