1. This is problem based on above the tittle: Is the use of Total Physical Response technique is better than conventional technique in Improving Students’ vocabulary achievement at second year students’ of SMP Negeri 8 Kendari”?
2. The solving of this problem is The collaboration of physical action with vocabulary that they appear by this has great influence on their memorizing. As Stevie acknowledge that the associations of vocabulary with physical action have a dramatic affect on memory because students must commit themselves to the learning task by performing action (Sunarto, 2003, p.16). The finding of this study, the comparison of mean score of post-test between experimental class and control class indicates that there are significant differences between two classes in their improving vocabulary.

This shows that the class which is taught by using TPR technique gets better average score than the class which is taught without using conventional technique. Therefore, the writer concluded that using Total Physical Response technique was better than conventional technique in improving students’ vocabulary achievement at second year student of SMP Negeri 8 Kendari.

    212). Total physical response is a technique teachers can use to see if their students understand the lesson and what they are learning. A teacher can check for comprehension by having student’s copy her hand symbols that she uses so her students better understand the lesson. For example, in a math lesson she uses her hands and arms to show and explain the different directions of slope. The teacher can also tell students to repeat what she is saying in order to fully understand the concept. The teacher can require students to talk to a partner to re-describe what they just learned. Teachers use a lot of repetition and mimicking to check for comprehension. I believe total physical response definitely helps students learn. All of these techniques allow the students to understand the lesson more easily. “Total physical response is an active learning approach for supporting comprehension in a low-anxiety atmosphere” (Krashen & Terrell, 1988, pg. 67). Total physical response can be used in a variety of subjects and lessons. “Through active participation, students learn new actions words by watching, imitating and responding to the teacher’s commands” (Shunk cited in Facella, Rampino, and Shea, 2005, pg.…
