The best way to negotiate meaning and give learners a reason to communicate is by asking questions and requiring students to respond in complete sentences. in #TPRSonline at #NTPRS18

Parents don't require their 2-yo to respond in complete sentences. Why would you do it with an older learner? That seems the easiest way to give them fobia to speak.
It's not about forcing students to do what they don't want to do, but about giving them the encouragement and support they need to be successful.

"Requiring" sounds a lot more like "forcing" than like "encouragement and support".
