dc.description.abstract | In order to achieve the objective of this study the writer used a quasi
experimental research by using post- test only design. The population of this study
was the fourth grades of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Rogojampi. The population of all
fourth grades was 90 students and 25% students of each class were selected to do the
try out because in Madrasah Islamiyah Ibtidaiyah Rogojampi, there are only two
classes of grade four. There were two meetings during the experiment. Before the
experiment was conducted, the students were given homogenity test. At the end of
the experiment, the students were given a post- test.
Achievement test was administered to collect the main data. To analyze the
data, t-test formula with significant level of 5% was used. The result showed that
statistical computation value of t-test was higher than that of the critical value of t-
table (2.96 > 2.02). It means that the fourth year students of Madrasah Islamiyah
Ibtidaiyah Rogojampi in the 2010/2011 got better vocabulary achievement after
having the treatment than before they got the treatment. The degree of relative
effectiveness was 9,03% which means that the vocabulary teaching through Total
Physical Response was more effective 9,03% than vocabulary teaching without using
Total Physical Response. The result of the study showed that teaching vocabulary by
using Total Physical Response technique was effective.
In line with the result, the writer suggests that the English teacher should be
able to create their own way to arise their students’ interest in joining their
instruction. The use of Total Physical Response as a technique is one way to achieve this goal. In addition, English teachers must select a suitable technique related to the
material they are going to teach. | en_US |
