THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNING ACTIVITY BASED ON TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE TO PROMOTE ENGLISH SPEAKING ABILITY FOR GRADE 4

Abstract

The objectives of this research article were to (1) construct and assess the efficiency of learning activities based on total physical response to promote the English speaking ability of grade 4 students according to criteria 75/75. (2) Compare English speaking proficiency before and after using learning activities based on total physical response. Research methodology is carried out by the research and development process. A sample group consisted of 17 students in grade 4, semester 1, the academic Year 2022, Watloakhwanjang- anukhor School, Phitsanulok. The experimental model One Group Pretest-Posttest Design.

Data were analyzed with mean, standard deviation statistic, and t-test dependent.

The result of the study found that: Learning activities based on total physical response to promote the English speaking ability of grade 4 students had 4 steps as follows; 1) Presentation and Review Lesson 2) Practice 3) Practice Assessment and Feedback 4) Evaluate Using a Variety of Activities. That learning activity was suitable in various elements of learning activity in the highest level, has an average of 4.70. Learning activities were as effective as 76.11/78.22.
