Abstract
This article examines the Total Physical Response (TPR) method as an evidence-based strategy for developing productive language skills - oral expression and emerging pre-writing - in preschool children within inclusive educational settings. Drawing on seminal and contemporary research in language acquisition, neuroscience, and inclusive pedagogy, it argues that TPR's movement-centered design lowers affective barriers, strengthens multi-sensory memory encoding, and creates genuinely equitable participation for all learners - including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, developmental language disorder, and those acquiring an additional language. Practical implementation strategies and educator guidance are provided.References
