Development of TETPR: Technology-Enhanced Total Physical Response for Elementary Students to Learn English Vocabulary in Indonesia

Abstract

This study explores the potential of Technology Enhanced Total Physical Response (TETPR) as an engaging approach to teaching English vocabulary to Indonesian students to support their English reading. TETPR integrates technology to enhance language acquisition, using the web, multimedia, Al, and remote. The study involves elementary students in Indonesia and employs a pretest-posttest control-group design. Data analysis will utilise an independent sample t-test to compare vocabulary acquisition between the experimental group taught with TETPR and the control group taught through traditional methods. The hypothesis predicts a significant difference in favour of the TETPR group. If successful, this study will contribute to IDC Theory by emphasising the role of interest-driven approaches on TETPR in improving students' English vocabulary acquisition.
