What works best for you?

What are effective methods of instruction that you use?
*One of the most effective methods of instruction that I use to introduce new vocabulary is a method called TPR or total physical response (google "Asher").  I look through my vocabulary list and break it up into small chunks picking out the words that are most effectively taught using this method. I only do TPR for 5 minutes or less as it gets monotonous for high school students.  I have had much success using TPR as an introductory activity.
