- ~ methods of cheating silent period﹕ memorized expressions, and L1 grammar
- ~ students are ready to speak after 10h of TPR
- ~ to optimize language teaching, lower learner's filter
- ~ to teach language within silent period, give verbal commands, demonstrate what to do, then let students imitate
- ~ use Suggestopedia in small groups, for a stress-free language learning environment
- ~ use audiolingual language teaching to build pronunciation and listening skills in large class rooms
- ~ watching TPR is as effective as doing TPR
