Abstract

The difficulty of teachers in teaching English to children pushed the writers to conduct a community service in the form of the training of vocabulary mastery to elementary school children using total physical response (TPR) method. This training was aimed to introduce the method to the teacher to make the students interested, happy and easy when learning English, especially to master vocabulary. In this training, the participants involved were 36 students of the third grade. To evaluate the achievement of this training program, pre-test and post-test were used to know the students’ ability before and after being given the treatment. Besides, observation by field notes was employed to know the students’ response to the implementation of this method. From data analysis, the result revealed that TPR method is effective to be used to improve the students’ English vocabulary mastery as the score of post-test was significantly improved from the one of pre-test. Besides, the result from observation showed that generally, the students had good response toward the use of the method. It means this method can be applied in teaching English vocabulary to children by the teachers even by the parents when teaching their children English vocabulary at home.
