A. Background of the Study
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Everyone communicates with others by using a language. Language is
a way of conveying ideas to the mind of people which is used as a means of
communication. As human being who lives in a society, communication cannot be
avoided. According Douglas Brown, "language is a system of arbitrary
conventionalized vocal, written, or gesture symbols that enable members of a
given community to comm~nicate intelligibly with one another''.1
English as one of the international languages has an important role in
daily live. It is acknowledged not only as a means of communication but also as a
scientific language. In Indonesia, English has been taught from elementary level
up to the university level. The aim of learning English in elementary school is to
introduce English as a foreign language to the elementary students for those who
are preparing themselves to go on studying at junior high school. Meanwhile, the
curriculum of elementary school states the aim of learning English in elementary
school is:
I. Mengembangkan kompetensi berkomunikasi dalam bentuk lisan secara terbatas untuk mengiringi tindakan (language accompanying action) dalam konteks sekolah.
1 H. Douglas Brown, Principles of Language Learning and Teaching, Fourth edition, (New jersey: Prentice Hall,lnc, 1994), p. 5

2. Memiliki kesadaran tentang hakikat dan pentingnya bahasa inggris untuk meningkatkan daya saing bangsa dalam masyarakat global.;:
I. To explore students' communication skills especially daily communication in school.
2. To inculcate students' awareness of the importance of English as an international language.
As we know listening, speaking, reading, and writing, are the basic
skills in learning a language, with all its aspects such as grammar, vocabulary, and
sound as the elements of language, which support the development of those skills.
Therefore, one of the points to learn by students is vocabulary.
It is widely accepted that vocabulary teaching is a part of the syllabus,
and taught in a well-planned and regular basis. Vocabulary. is one of the most
important elements in language besides grammar and pronunciation. The linguist·
David Wilkins summed up the importance of vocabulary learning, "without
grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be
conveyed". His views are echoed in this advice: "if you spend most of your time
studying grammar, your English will not improve very much. You can say very
little with grammar, but you can say almost anything with words".3
In elementary, the students are given a set of simple vocabulary to
encourage them to learn English, and words which they might find in their
environment, such as things in the classroom, at home, around the school, names
concerning body parts, and so on. But it is not easy to teach foreign language to
the elementary student around the age of six to seven, they are active learners and
cannot sit still for longer period., They need more exercises and movement. "The ,.,
younger your pupils, the more physical activities they need".4

3 Scott Thornbury, How to Teach Vocabulary, (England UK: bluestone press, 2002), p.13
4 Wendy A. Scott and Lisbeth .H. Ytreberg, Teaching English to Children. (New York: Longman inc, 1996), p. 22
Children are different from adults in character. They have short
attention and concentration, especially in memorizing vocabulary. The step to
make them love vocabulary is started from the way to build it.
3
In fact, student often find problems in learning the words. The teacher
who usually uses the conventional technique in teaching vocabulary as
memorization technique does not stimulate the student to build up their
vocabulary because this technique only emphasizes on memorizing words which
in many cases made them feel bored. Asking children to memorize words with
their meaning is usually ineffective, sometimes children remember their meaning
for a short period of time and moreover they forget with the meaning, As Michael
J Wallace said" ... if he is conscientious he will then attempt to memorize the
target word and its translation, usually simply repeating it over and over again.
This is obviously a somewhat boring and inefficient method of learning
vocabulary" .5
As a matter of fact, in daily teaching learning process, the first grade of
MI darul Ihya often find themselves difficult in understanding and memorizing
vocabulary given by their teacher. They are also lack of attention and
concentration. They don't pay attention to the teacher; in fact they are playing
around with their friends and ignoring what is going on in the class. However, the
students of first grade MI Darul Ihya are active. They walk around the class, give
a positive response to the teacher; they come forward when the teacher asked
them to do so.
To overcome this problem, the writer gives an alternative technique to
improve student's vocabulary by using Total Physical Response (TPR) method.
This method makes the lesson more interesting because they are active in the
learning process.
Asher (1977) noted that children, in learning their first language, appear to do a lot of listening before they speak and that their listening is accompanied by physical response (reaching, grabbing, moving, looking and so forth). He also gave some attention to right brain learning. According to
5 Michael J Wallace, Teaching Vocabu/aiy, English Language Book Society, (London: Heinemann Education Book, 1987), p. 61
4
Asher, motor activity is a right-brain function that should precede left-brain language processing. Asher was also convinced that language classes were often the locus of too much anxiety and wished to devise a method that was a stress free as possible, where learners would not feel overly self conscious and defensive. The Total Physical response (TPR) classroom then is one in which students do a great deal of listening and acting. The teacher is very directive in orchestrating a performance: "the instructor is the director of a stage play in which the students are the actors" .6
Typically, Total physical Response (TPR) heavily utilizes the
imperative mood even into more advanced proficiency levels. Commands are an
easy way to get learners to listen and to act the teacher's commands such as;
"walk to the door, point the window, point to the blackboard, etc". Asher stated
that "most of the grammatical structure of the target language and hundreds of
vocabulary items can be learned from the skillful use of the imperative by the
instructor". 7
Finally, based on the background above, the writer would like to carry
out the research under title: "ENRICHING VOCABULARY FOR THE FIRST
GRADE OF MI DARUL lliYA USING TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE
METHOD."
B. Limitation and Formulation of the Problem
To avoid misunderstanding and to clarify the problem, it is necessary
to make the limitation of the problem. The writer will limit the problem in
improving vocabulary using Total Physical Response method at the first grade
students of Madrasah lbtidaiyah Dami lhya Ciomas Bogor
The formulation of the problem is:
• Whether teaching English by nsing Total Physical Response can
improve the student's vocabulary?

C. Method of the Study
The method that the writer takes in this research is an experiment
method. In this research the writer takes two classes, one class is an experiment
class and another is a control class. The experiment class is a class that the writer
teaches vocabulary by using Total Physical Response method, and control class is
a class that the writer teaches the vocabulary without using Total Physical
Response method.
D. Use of the Study
This 'Skripsi' is hoped
A. For the Writer:
l. To know the effectiveness of Total Physical Response Method in
teaching vocabulary.
2. To know how to teach vocabulary through Total Physical Response.
3. To fulfill one of the requirements of the English Department for the
Degree Sarjana (SI).
B. For the readers:
I. To present an alternative method in teaching vocabulary
2. To get the information of describing the effectiveness of teaching
vocabulary by using Total Physical Response
3. To be useful for the teacher in teaching vocabulary especially at the first
grade students ofMadrasah lbtidaiyah Darul lhya Ciomas Bogor.
E. Organization of the Study
The organization of this 'Skripsi' is divided into four chapters.
Chapter one is Introduction. It contains the Background of Study, the
Limitation and the Formulation of Problem, Method of the Study, Use of the
Study, and Organization of the Study.
Chapter two is Theoretical Framework. This is divided into some
parts. Part A discusses on vocabulary which is focused at the Definition of
Vocabulary, Kinds of Vocabulary, Vocabulary for the Elementary Students, and I
6
The Techniques of Teaching Vocabulary. Part B, discusses on Total Physical
Response Method, which is focused at the meaning of Total Physical Response
Method, Goal of Total Physical Response, Characteristic of Total Physical
Response Method, and Advantages and Disadvantages of Total Physical Response
Method. Part C, talks about Teaching Vocabulary by using Total Physical
Response Method. Part D, is Hypothesis.
Chapter three is Research Methodology and Findings. Research
Methodology is divided into five items: they are Purpose of Research, Place and
Time of Research, Population and Sample and Research Instrument. Finding is
divided into four items: they are Techniques of Data Collecting, Data
Presentation, Technique of Data Analysis, Data Interpretation, and Hypothesis
Testing.
Chapter four as the last chapter consists of Conclusion and
Suggestion. It concludes the result of the research and gives suggestion how to use
a good technique in teaching and learning English for beginners.
A. Vocabulary
CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
When someone talks about vocabulary, the first comes to one's mind:
vocabulary is about words, where they come from, how they change, how they
relate to each other and how we use them to view the world. 1 Acquiring
vocabulary is very important to master a language. It is impossible to learn a
language without vocabulary, as Zimmerman said "vocabulary is central to
language and of critical importance to the typical language learner."2
Good mastery of vocabulary is important for anyone who learns the
language; it is used in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, besides grammar.
A learner of a foreign language will speak fluently and accurately, write easily, or
understand what s/he reads or hears if s/he has enough vocabulary and has a
capability of using it accurately. As Nasrun Mahmud stated in his book English
for Muslim University Students,
A good vocabulary goes hand in hand with your ability to think logically and to learn easily and quickly. A good vocabulary and your ability to use words correctly and effectively can be your passport to worlds of interesting and exciting information. You can travel in the past, in the
1 Laurie Bauer, Vocabulary. (London: Routledge, 1998), p.8
2 James Coady and l'hornas 1-Iuckin, Second Language Vocabu/a1y Acquisition (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997), p.5
8
present, and in the future through the words you need or hear. You can learn to use words to help transport others to the world you have discovered.3
In other words, vocabulary is a starting point to learn a language. With
sufficient words and good vocabularies we can communicate with people and
understand what people say.
l. Definition of Vocabulary
Roughly, vocabulary can be defined as words in a language. Based on
several linguists and lexicographers, vocabulary can be defined into many
different definitions. Meriem Webster's Ninth Collegiate Dictionary, defines
vocabulary as follows:
I. A list or collection of words and phrases usually alphabetically arranged and explained or defined.
2. A sum or stock of words employed by a language group, individual or work or in a field of knowledge.
3. A list or collection of te1ms or codes available for use.4
If we take a look at Oxford Advance Learner's Dictionary, we find
that: "vocabulary is defined as total number of words that make up a language .. 5
Meanwhile, Paul C. Burns defines vocabulary as "The stock of words
used by person, class, or profession.6
From the definition above, it can shows that vocabulary is a list or
stock or collection of words, terms, codes, and phrases arranged and explained to
make up the language used by a person, class or profession.

2. Kinds ofVocabnlary
There are many kinds of vocabulary in English. They are:
a. Based on the characteristic of the words and the kind of acqniring skill.
According to Jo Ann Aeborsold and Marry Lee Field, based on the
characteristic of the words and the kind of acquiring skill, vocabulary is divided
into two kinds:
l. Active vocabulary: refers to put items which the learners can use
appropriately in speaking and writing. Active vocabulary is also called
as productive vocabulary.
2. Passive vocabulary: refers to language items that can be recognized
and understood in the context of reading and listening. It is also called
as receptive vocabulary.7
However, there will be words which are understood, but not used,
perhaps because they occur in contexts or types of discourse which are not
familiar. For example: His Salary is incommensurate with his ability.8
b. Based on its form and function.
John Read in his book, Assessing Vocabulary, mentioned five kinds of
vocabulary based on its form and function, they are:
I. Function Words
These are the words, which only have a full meaning when they are
integrated with other word. It includes articles, preposition, pronoun,
conjunction, auxiliaries, etc.
2. Content Words
These are the words, which have a full meaning and provide links
within sentences. It includes noun, full verb, adjectives, and adverb.
7 Jo ann Aeborsold and mary Lee field, Fron1 Reader to Reading Teacher (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1997), p.248
8 Ruth Gaims and Stuart Redman, Working -u1ith Words a Guide to Teaching and Learning (Cambridge University Press, 1986). P.65
10
3. Lemma
This is the base and inflected forms of a word snch as leak, leaks,
leaking and leaked.
4. Word Family
This is a set of word which is closely related in form and meaning. It
includes the base words with its inflection and derivations.
5. Homographs
These are single word forms that have more than one meaning.
6. Corpus
This is a list of words based on a frequency count of words in a long
text.
The kinds of vocabulary above can be used either in spoken or written
language.
c. Dealing with the user of the language.
Furthermore, dealing with the user of the language, vocabulary is
divided into:
1. General vocabulary: the words that are used in the general. There is no
limited of field and user, terms general that the writer means is general
in meaning and using
2. Special vocabulary: the words that are used in the certain field, job,
profession or special science and technology.for example: politicians,
journalists and lawyer.9 All these have specialized vocabulary arising
from particular circumstances of their live and work
From the explanation above, it is known that vocabulary relates to our
work, our environment and our way of life. A mother who only works in the
kitchen has small amount of vocabulary, it is different from the driver who always
work in the street. Each person has the size of vocabulary which varies with the
ability and experience.

2. Vocabulary for Elemeutary Students
A Teacher needs to decide what vocabulary he/she is going to teach to
the students. He/she selects the vocabulary that will be useful for the students in
order to achieve the goal as stated in the previous chapter; students are able to
communicate in English in a simple way. Before teaching the vocabulary to the
students, the teacher is hoped to know the principles in the teaching vocabulary.
The common principles are:
1. Based on the students' ability.
2. Suitable for the students' capability.
3. Taught gradually from the easiest to the most difficult. 10
Students are able to understand English words that they encounter in
their daily life they are also able to use the words like in simple conversation,
teacher can decide what vocabulary needed by elementary students. For example:
the theme is "about classroom" teacher gives a list of words, related to the
classroom like: wall, blackboard, chair, table, window, door, eraser, etc. for
speaking teacher could teach demonstrative, e.g. what is this? It is is a blackboard,
what is that? It is a table, etc. many language items can be taught like numbers,
color, part of the body, etc.
Here is the example of vocabulary taught in elementary:
a. Number: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten ..... one hundred.
b. Around the school: school yard, flag, flag ceremony, student, teacher, etc.
c. Greetings: good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night, good bye, I am fine, etc.
d. In the classroom: blackboard, chalk, paper, basket, chair, table, book, etc.
e. Color: red, white, green, orange, blue, black, purple, etc. 11

3. The Teclmiqucs of Teaching Vocabulary
Teaching vocabulary to students seems to be the simplest thing to do.
In fact, it requires more than translating some words from one language to
another. Students need something fun and easy to access the vocabulary quickly
when it is required for use. In this section, some techniques to teaching and
learning vocabulary are offered to facilitate students' need in accessing
vocabulary.
First, the most common ways in which the vocabulary items are
presented m the classroom are visual technique, verbal techniques and
translation. 12
a. visual techniques
They are extensively used for conveying meaning and are particularly
useful for teaching concrete item of vocabulary such as places,
professions, description, actions and activities such as sport and verbs
movement. The technique includes flashcards, photographs, blackboard
drawing, wall charts, realia, mime and gesture.
b. verbal technique
They involve the use of spoken or written language. It includes the use of
illustrative situation use of synonym and definition, contrasts and
opposites, scales and examples
c. Translation
This is the last choice to present vocabulary when two of the previous
techniques are done.
Second, for beginner students, Virginia French Allen offered the
technique to present vocabulary. They are using commands, using real objects,
pictures and communication experiences.13
12 Ruth Gairn and Stuart Redman, Working With Word ... , p. 73-75
13 Virginia French Allen, Techniques in Teaching Vocabulary, (New York: Oxford University Press, 1983), p.23-28
13
Third, still dealing with the technique, Virginia French Allen also
offered the techniques to present vocabulary for the intermediate students. They
are using simple English to show meaning of words, seeing a new word in a
sentence, using more words for common areas of living, using games and using
pictures. 14
There are many ways to present the vocabulary, teacher as a facilitator
has to be able to choose a good technique to teach how to enrich students'
vocabulary. In her research, the writer teaches vocabulary used the technique as
Virginia said that beginner students using commands, in the English language
teaching methods is best known as Total Physical Response Method (TPR).
B. Total Physical Response Method
1. Meaning of Total Physical Response Method
Total physical response is a language teaching method built around the
coordination of speech and action; it attempts to reach language through physical
activity. Developed by James Asher, a professor of psychology at San Jose state
University California it draws on several including developmental psychology,
learning theory, and humanistic pedagogy, as well as on language teaching
procedures proposed palmer in 1925.15
Total physical response is limited to the "trace theory" 16 of memory in
psychology, which holds that the more often or the more intensively a memory
connection is traced, the stronger the memory association will be and the more
likely it will be recalled. Retracing can be done verbally (e.g., by rote repetition)
and/or in association with motor activity. Combined tracing, hence increase the
probability of successful recal.
In addition, Theresa Romo stated, "Dr. James Asher who developed Total Physical, claimed that second language learning should be based on model of first language learning. The model has three vital aspects:
14 Virginia French Allen, Techniques ... p.46-54
15 Jack C. Richards and Theodore S. Rodgers, Approaches and Methods ...• p.87
16 Jack C. Richards and Theodore S. Rodgers, Approaches and Methods ... , p.87
14
understanding the spoken language must come before speaking, understanding is developed through body movement, and the listening period creates a readiness to speak. This model teaches to never force speaking."17
In a developmental sense, Asher sees successful adult second language
learning as a parallel process to child first language acquisition. He claims that
speech directed to young children consist primarily of commands, which children
respond to physically before they begin to produce verbal responses. Asher feels
adults should recapitulate the processes by which children acquire their mother
tongue. 18
Asher's emphasis on developing comprehension skills before the
learner is taught to speak links him to a movement in foreign language teaching
sometimes referred to as the comprehension approach (Winnitz 1983). 19 This
refers to several different comprehension-based language teaching proposals,
which share the belief that; comprehension abilities precede productive skills in
learning a language; the teaching of speaking should be delayed until
comprehension skills are established; skills acquired through listening transfer to
other skills; teaching should emphasize meaning rather than form; and teaching
should minimize learner stress.
Asher sees Total Physical Response as directed to right-brain learning,
whereas most second language teaching methods are directed to left-brain
learning.20 Asher holds that the child language learner acquires language through
motor movement a right-hemisphere activity. Right-hemisphere activities must
occur before the left hemisphere can process language for production.21
17 'fheresa Romo, Total Physical response in the Classroom, si.unm.edu/web%20Journals/articles200lffROMO_1.HTM
18 Jack C. Richards and Theodore S. Rodgers, Approaches and Mel hods ... , p.87
19 Jack C. Richards and Theodore S. Rodgers, Approaches and Methods ... , p.87
20 Jack C. Richards and Theodore S. Rodgers, Approaches and Methods .. ., p.91
21 Jack C. Richards and Theodore S. Rodgers, Approoches and Methods ... , p.91
15
Similarly, the adult should proceed to language mastery through right
hemisphere motor activities, while the left hemisphere watches and learns. When
a sufficient amount of right-hemisphere learning has taken place, the left
hemisphere will be triggered to produce language and to initiate other, more
abstract language processes.
According to the definition above, it is said that Total Physical
response is a language teaching method built around the coordination of speech
and action; it attempts to reach language through physical activity. It is worked
from the premise that second language learning should be based on model of first
language acquisition in very young children, where children, in learning their first
language learning, appear to do a lot of listening before they speak and that their
listening is accompanied by physical response (reaching, grabbing, moving,
looking and so forth).
2. Goal of Total Physical Response Method
The general objectives of Total Physical response are to teach oral
proficiency at a beginning level. Comprehension is a means to an end; the
ultimate aim is to teach basic speaking skills. A total Physical Response method
course aims to produce learners who are capable of an uninhibited communication
that is intelligible to a native speaker. Specific instructional objectives are not
elaborated, for these will depend on the particular needs of the learners.22
Teacher who use Total Physical response method believe in the
importance of having their students enjoy their experience in learning to
communicate in a foreign language. In, fact, Total physical response method was
developed in order to reduce the stress people feel when studying foreign
languages and thereby encourage students to persist in their study beyond a
beginning level proficiency.23
22 Jack C. Richards and Theodore S. Rodgers, Approaches and Methods ... , p.91
23 DianeLarscn-Freeman, Techniques and principles in language Teaching, (England: Oxford University Press, 1986), p.116
16
3. Characteristics of Total Physical Response Method
The first phase of a lesson is one of modeling. The instructor issues
commands to a few students, then performs the action with them. In the second
phase, these same students demonstrate that they can understand the commands
by performing them alone. The observers also have an opportunity to demonstrate
their understanding.24
The teacher next recombines elements of the commands to have
students develop flexibility in understanding unfamiliar utterances. In these
commands, the students learn to read and write them.
The characteristics of Total Physical Response method will be
summed up as follow:
a. The material is presented in imperative fonn, b. The commands are given to the class as whole. c. Students will begin to speak when they are ready. d. Production is naturally delayed until the students listening comprehension has
been developed e. Meaning in target language can often be conveyed through action f. Listening should be accompanied by physical movement g. The learning process as started from the simple sentence and it can be
visualization in the class.
From the explanation above, it can be said that the use of commands is
the major teaching technique of Total Physical Response Method. The commands
are given to get students to perform an action; the action makes the meaning of the
commands clear.
4. Advantages and Disadvantages of Total Physical Response Method
There are some advantages and disadvantages of Total Physical
Response method in teaching learning process, namely:
a. Advantages
Some advantages of total physical response method will be mentioned below:
1. It is a lot of fun, students enjoy it and it can be a real stirrer in the class. It lifts the pace and the mood.
2. It is very memorable. It really helps students to remember phrases or words.
24 Diane Larsen-Freeman, Techniques and principles ... , p.116
17
3. It is good for kinesthetic learners who need to be active in the class. 4. It can be used in large or small classes. It doesn't really matter how many
students you have as long as you are prepared to take the lead, the students will follow.
5. It works well with mixed-ability classes. The physical actions get across the meaning effectively so that all the students are able to understand and use the target language.
6. It doesn't require a lot of preparation or materials. As long as you are clear what you want to practice (a rehearsal beforehand can help), it won't take a lot of time to get ready.
7. It is very effective with teenagers and young learners. 8. It involves both left and right-brained learning25
•
From the benefits of Total Physical response method above, it can be
concluded that Total Physical Response method is really important in teaching
learning process. It can reduce student's stress and students will not easily bore.
b. Disadvantages of Total Physical Response Method
Besides the advantages of Total Physical response, there are some
disadvantages in using it, as follows:
1. Students who are not used to such things might find it embarrassing. 2. It is only really suitable for beginner levels. 3. Students are not generally given the opportunity to express their own
thoughts in a creative way. 4. You can't teach everything with it and if used a lot it would become
repetitive.26
From the disadvantages above, it can be concluded that Total Physical
Response (TPR) can make students uncreative, teaching and learning becomes
monotonous and applicable only for beginner learners.
TPR seems to work effectively for children and adults. There is no age
barrier. However, it is recognized that TPR is most useful for beginners, though it
can be used at higher levels where preparation becomes an issue for the teacher,

C. TEACHING VOCABULARY USING TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE
METHOD.
The teacher enters the class and says "assalamualaikum", the students
answer "waalaikum Salam". The students sing a song "good morning" to attract
their attention and asked their feeling in learning English. The teacher introduces
herself and she takes attendances, she explains "we are going to learn about things
in the classroom", and the teacher mentions the things in the classroom such as:
table, chair, blackboard, window, book, bag, etc. after that, she introduces the
method they will use to study English. She explains in Indonesian, "You will be
studying English in a way that is similar to the way you learned Indonesian. You
will not speak at first. Rather, you will just listen to me and do as I do. I will give
you command to do something in English and you will do action along with me."
Then teacher asked four students to come up to the front of the classroom. Other
students in the class are seated in a semi circle so that there is a large space for the
action
The four students are in front of the room sit with her in chairs that are
lined up facing the other students. She tells the other students to listen and to
watch.
In the classroom of beginners, a teacher gives two commands to the
student "touch and take". The procedures are first of all a teacher gives one
command to the student in every session, after that the teacher demonstrates the
meaning of the word by touching the object, like touching chair, table or anything
existed in the classroom. At first the student only watches the teacher who is
demonstrating the words meaning, then asking the students to follow the
instructions "touch the table, touch the chair, touch the blackboard, touch the
door, touch the window." Take the vase; take the pencil.. .... etc. The students
perform the instruction together with the teacher, the teacher reinforces the
students with the instructions several times until they understand and able to
perform the action by themselves. The next step is the teacher gives the
commands yet not moving around with the students. First of all the four
19
volunteers respond to her command, the teacher calls the student's name one by
one and gives them the instruction. For example, Hana, touch the table, touch the
chair. Baha, touch the blackboard, touch the window, touch the door. Wildan take
pencil, take book, and thing like that. After that the teacher turns to the rest of the
class and gives the following commands to the students, touch the table, touch the
chair, touch the blackboard, touch the door, touch the window. Take the book,
take the pencil. Students are responding what the teacher instructed.
As the last step of the lesson, the teacher writes the vocabularies on the
blackboard, and the meaning of those vocabularies. The students copy those
vocabularies from the blackboard into the notebooks.
D. HYPOTHESIS
I. Null hypothesis (Ho)
"There is no significant difference between teaching vocabulary using TPR
Method and teaching vocabulary without using TPR Method at the first grade of
MI Darn! Ihya."
2. Alternative hypothesis (Ha)
"There is a significant difference between teaching vocabulary using TPR Method
and teaching vocabulary without using TPR Method at the first grade of MI Darn!
Ihya."
CHAPTER Ill
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND FINDING
A. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
1. The Purpose of Research
The purpose of this research is to know whether the use of Total
Physical Response method in teaching learning process can improve and solve the
problems in learning vocabulary.
3. Place and Time of the Research
The research was held at MI (Madrasah lbtidaiyah) Darul Ihya that is
located at Jalan Raya Kreteg No. 24 Pagelaran Ciomas Bogor 16610. It was begun
by visiting the school on Monday, 14th July 2006. And teaching learning process
was begun from I 61h July until g•h August 2008. The observation was also done
during these times.
4. Population and Sample
The population of the research is the first year students of MI Darul
Ihya Ciomas Bogor. There are two classes, namely class 1-A and 1-B, the total
number of population is 70 students, because one class consists of 35 students.
The writer took 40 students as the sample, 20 students as experiment class and 20
students as control class.
21
S. Research Instrument
The writer used tests as the research instrument. She carried out two
kinds of test, namely pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was given before the class
sessions started and before the teaching materials were given, whereas the post
test was given afterward. Both the pre-test and the post-test consisted of20 items.
B. RESEARCH FINDING
1. Techniques of Data Collecting
In collecting data, the writer has done some steps, they are:
a. Observation
The writer observed the school situation, the class condition of the first
grade students, and the English curriculum of the first grade.1
b. Teaching and learning process
The writer acted as the English teacher. She taught the students of class I-A
as the experiment class, and the class 1-B, as the control class. The material
she gave to the students is vocabulary things in the classroom such as table,
chair, book, window, pencil etc. In the experiment class, she taught the
vocabulary with Total Physical Response method and the control class is
taught without Total Physical Response.2
c. Test
The test was given in two kinds: pre-test and post test.
The pre-test as well as the post-test consist of 20 items, which were divided
into two categories: l 0 matching the picture and the word, 10 fiil in the
blank. Each item valued 5 point, therefore the student who can answer all
question will get I 00 points. All of the test materials are in relation to the
things in the classroom; this test is made by the class teacher.3

3. Techniqne of Data Analysis
In analyzing the data, the writer uses the comparative technique. This
technique is useful to prove statistically whether any significant difference
between two variables, the processed and analyzed data through the following
steps:4
a) Investigating students' vocabulary test, giving score, and describing
score in table
b) Determining mean of variable X1 with formula:
M1=IX1
N1
c) Determining mean of variable X2 with formula:
M2=IX2
N2
d) Determining deviation score of variable X1 with formula:
x,=X1-M2
e) Detennining deviation score of variable X2 with formula:
x2=X2-M2
f) Analyzing the result by using calculation of the t-test as follow:
Note: Ml =the average score of the experiment class
M2 = the average score of the control class
XI = sum of the square deviation score experiment class
X2 = sum of the square deviation score control class
N 1 = the number of the student of experiment class
N2 =the number of the student of control class

PERPUSTAKAAN UTAMA UIN SVAHID JAKA!lltTA
Based on the data calculation above, it is obtained that the value of lo is
4. 77. To get the't' value from the table (t1), it needs to determine the degree of
freedom (df) with the formula as follow:
= (20 +20)-2
=40-2
= 38
The next step is looking at the Table of 't' value to get the t,, the
degree of freedom (df) 38 is not mentioned in the table. Because of that, the writer
took the 40 as the closer to the d/38. With the degree of freedom (df) 40, it can be
determined that:
at the significant level 5%, t - table (t1) = 2.02
at the significant level 1 %, t - table (t1) = 2. 71
Comparing lo with t1:
SL 5% =lo> t1= 4.77 > 2.02
SL 1% = t0 > t, = 4.77 > 2.71
29
4. Data Interpretation
If we look at the average score of the experiment class and control
class, it is obtained that the experiment class got the higher average score than the
control class (83 > 67).
Another thing that can prove the success of teaching the vocabulary
through Total Physical Response method is by looking at the gained score of both
the experiment class and the control class. The experiment class has gained score
higher than the control class. The gained score indicates how far the students
mastering the material or the lesson. It means that the students that using Total
Physical response as a method in learning the vocabulary get more success than
the students that learning vocabulary without Total Physical Response method.
It can be concluded that teaching English using Total Physical
Response method can help students to enrich their vocabulary.
5. Hypothesis Testing
To prove the truth of the alternative hypotheses and the null
hypotheses that have been mentioned before in Chapter II, it necessary to compare
the'!' value resulted from the calculation ( !1) with the 't' value that in the table of
't' value (t1) as follows:
I. Ifto is equal or higher than critic value'!' that mentioned in the table (with
t,), so the null hypothesis which stated there's no difference of mean of
both sample is rejected: it means the difference of mean from both is
significance.
2. If to is lower than t1, so the null hypothesis which stated there is no
difference of mean from both sample accepted, it means the mean
difference of both sample is not significant difference of both samples is
not significant difference but a difference happens by chance because of
sampling error5•
5 Anas Sudijono,Op. Cit. p.270
30
Based on the result of statistical calculation, it is obtained the value of
t 0 is 4.77 and the degree f freedom (df) is 38. In the table of significance 5% =
2.02 and 1 % = 2.17. After comparing the values of lo= 4.77 and t1able = 2.02 and
2.17 it means that lo is higher than t, •• 1.: 2.02 < 4.77 > 2.17. It concludes the
alternative hypothesis is accepted and the null hypothesis is rejected. It means
there is a significant difference between using Total Physical Response and
without Total Physical Response in teaching vocabulary. Therefore, it is
empirically felt that using Total Physical Response in teaching vocabulary can
enrich the students' vocabulary.
A. Conclusion
CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
Based on the data calcultion, it can be seen that the experiment class
(through Total Physical Respone) got higher score than the control class (without
Total Physical Respnse method). It can be seen from the differences of the score
between experiment class and control class, the value of to is higher than ti. So it
can be concluded that total physical response method is effectively used in
teaching English in enrich students' vocabulary.
Teaching English using Total Physical Response is a suitable method,
because it is effective and efficient. As a teacher, we should try to do the best to
motivate our students and to make the lesson varies. It is possible, with using
good methods in teaching English; the students will not be easily bored
B. Suggestion
1. The English teacher is expected to select an appropriate teaching method
adjusted to the teching material and the teaching objectives.
2. The English teacher should be creative in developing the teaching learning
activity in classroom to make classes alive and lure the student to be
actively involved in every class session.
3. The English teacher should improve their knowledge of English language
teaching methods.
32
4. To make sure that Total Physical Response is successfully applied the time
provided should be adequate.
5. The teacher should have considered the class circumstance as in Total
Physical Response Method, the students are doing the activities using their
response and it can be done effectively in larger classroom since the
students use their body movement regularly.
6. The English Teacher is expected to use the Total Physical Response
Method as an alternative method in teaching vocabula1y.
7. In teaching learning process with using Total Physical response, the
teacher should have given the simple commands to beginning students as
the complex commands can make them don't understand and confused.
Also suggested for the teacher, if the students are involved during the
learning process.
