Abstract

The objectives of this study were to find out the result of teaching English direction by using Total Physical Response and also to decide how effective is the use of Total Physical Response in teaching English direction for young learners. This study is an action research. The population of this study is the fifth graders of SDN 4 Sampangan, Semarang, in the academic year 2009/2010. Since the fifth graders has 43 students, I took all the students as the sample. Before conducting the research in SDN 4 Sampangan, the instrument had been tried out first in a different class in order to check the validity, reliability, item difficulty, and discriminating power. Then, I began the research by giving a pre-test to the students. After that, the treatments were given to them. The activity is continued by answering formative test for each treatment. At the end of the research, I gave a post-test to them. The result of this study showed that the post-test scores were better than the pre-test scores. The means of pre-test scores was 64.90 while the post-test scores was 76.70. In analyzing the data, I used t-test formula. The result of the t-test or t-value obtained is 4.06 while the t-table is 1.99. Since the result of the t-value is higher than the t-table, it means that the students get better understanding if they are taught using Total Physical Response. In conclusion, Total Physical Response is very effective and applicable to be used in teaching English direction for young learners. Based on this conclusion, the suggestion given is that the English teacher may teach English directions by using total physical response.
