THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND LISTENING PERCEPTION ABILITIES IN ENGLISH COMMAND SENTENCES IN ENGLISH COMMAND SENTENCES USING TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR) FOR GRADE 2 ELEMENTARY STUDENTS, NONGBUA WITTAYAYON SCHOOL

Abstract

               The purposes of this research were to: 1) to develop efficiency and listening perception abilities in English command sentences for elementary school (Grade 2 students) between pre-test and post-test learning by using Total Physical Response (TPR) with the criteria 70%, 2) to compare the abilities with the listening perception of English command sentences for Grade 2 elementary students by using Total Physical Response (TPR), and 3) to survey the students' satisfaction with listening perception of English command sentences after learning using Total Physical Response (TPR). The samples used in the study were Grade 2/4 elementary students totaling 40 students of Nongbua Wittayayon School, selected by purposive sampling. The instruments used in the study were: 1) lesson plans, 2) Tests (Pre-test, Post-test), and 3) Satisfaction Survey. The data analysis was analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples.

               The results of the study indicated that:

1. The development of efficiency and listening perception abilities in English command sentences for Grade 2 elementary students between pre-test and post-test learning by using Total Physical Response (TPR) was significantly increased higher than the criteria 70/70.


2. Grade 2 elementary students, Nongbua Wittayayon School were able to listen to the perception of English command sentences by using Total Physical Response (TPR) significantly increased higher than before the experiment at .05 level.


3. The students were satisfied with the development of English listening perception in English command sentences for Grade 2 elementary students by using Total Physical Response (TPR) after the experiment was at a highly satisfactory level.
