Abstract

AbstractThe objective of this research was to investigate whether or not there was an effect of using Total Physical Response (TPR) technique in students’ speaking ability to the eleventh graders at SMA PSKD 7 Depok.

Based on the findings, it could be concluded that the use of TPR technique was effective to improve Eleventh graders’ speaking ability.
