Abstract

This study aimed at improving the third grade students’ listening skills through the Total Physical Response (TPR) at SD N Gambiranom in the academic year of 2013/2014. This study is action research and consists of two cycles. Each of the cycle followed the procedures of conducting action research proposed by Anderson et al. in Burns (1999: 32-33). The procedures were; reconnaissance, planning, implementation and observation, and reflection. The subjects of the research were the third grade students of SD N Gambiranom. Other research’s participants were the school principal, the English teacher and a student of English Education Department, State University of Yogyakarta as the observer. The data of this study were qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were obtained from observation and interviews, while the quantitative data were gathered from students’ tests and questionnaires. The qualitative data were presented in the form of field notes and interview transcripts. The quantitative data were in the form of students’ listening scores and questionnaires’ scores. The questionnaires were analyzed with descriptive statistics using Likert Scale. The qualitative data were analyzed in five steps, i.e. assembling the data, coding the data, comparing the data, building interpretations and reporting the outcomes. The findings of this research showed that the implementation of TPR improved the students’ listening skill. This improvement is indicated by the improvements of the students’ means scores in listening tests. The number of the students who passed the passing grade that is 7.99 was increased and only four students didn’t pass the passing grade. The overall students’ mean scores were increased by 1.38 from 7.45 in their pre-test to 8.83 in their test in Cycle 2. The average mean score based on the students’ questionnaires is 3.47 that means very good. It indicates that TPR activities were enjoyed by the students and helpful in improving their listening skills. It is concluded that the implementation of TPR improved the third grade students’ listening skill at SD N Gambiranom.
