ABSTRACT
Darmi. 2012. The Mastery of English Vocabulary of the Third Grade Students of SD
N Dukutalit 01 Juwana in the Academic Year 2012/2013 Taught by Using
Total Physical Response (TPR). Skripsi. English Education Department.
Teacher Training and Education Faculty. Muria Kudus University. Advisors:
(1) Dr. H.A. Hilal Madjdi, M.Pd (2) Titis Sulistyowati, S.S., M.Pd.
Key words: Vocabulary Mastery, Total Physical Response (TPR)
One of the aims of teaching English in Elementary School is to enhance
students to be able to understand English words which they might find in their
environment. In fact, students often find problems in learning the words. So it needs
more teachers’ attention to make the transfer of the vocabulary process easier to
grasp and more fun to learn. Meanwhile, the students of SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana
also have some problems in learning vocabulary. From the reasons above, the writer
is intereseted to carry on a research entitled “The Mastery of English Vocabulary of
the Third Grade Students of SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana in the Academic Year
2012/2013 Taught by Using Total Physical Response (TPR)”
The purposes of the research are: (i) to find out the extent of the English
vocabulary mastery of the third grade students of SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana in the
academic year of 2012/2013 before being taught by using Total Physical Response
(TPR) (ii) to find out the extent of the English vocabulary mastery of the third grade
students of SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana in the academic year of 2012/2013 after being
taught by using Total Physical Response (TPR) (iii) to find out whether or not there
is a significant difference of the English vocabulary mastery of the third grade
students of SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana in the academic year of 2012/2013 before and
after being taught by using Total Physical Response (TPR)
This research is experiement research with one group pretest-posttest. The
sample of this research is all the third grade students of SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana in
the academic year 2012/2013 which consists of 32 students. Before applying Total
Phisical Response to the third grade students of SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana, the
writer gave try out to the third grade students of SD N Bendar to know the
realiability of the test. The result of try out shows that the test is high reliable (0.80)
The result of this research shows that (i) the vocabulary mastery of the third
grade students of SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana in the academic year 2012/2013 before
being taught by using Total Physical Response (TPR) is categorized as sufficient.
(Mean = 68.75, Standard Deviation =13.5) (ii) the vocabulary mastery of the third
grade students of SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana in the academic year 2012/2013 after
being taught by using Total Physical Response (TPR) is categorized as good. (Mean
= 89.91, Standard Deviation =8.75) (iii) there is a significant difference between the
vocabulary mastery of the third grade students of SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana in the
academic year 2012/2013 before and after being taught by using Total Physical
Response (TPR). It can be seen on t-observation is higher than t-table (to = 11.45 > tt
= 2.04).
ix
Considering the process and the results of this research, the writer suggests
that (i) the English Teacher should use Total Physical Response (TPR) in teaching
English vocabulary is recommended for English teachers, especially for the
elementary school teacher to attract the students’ interest and motivation in learning
English (ii) the students should develop their vocabulary to master the four language
skills. The students can use Total Physical Response (TPR) to improve the
vocabulary mastery (iii) to get a wider generalization of the result of this study, such
activity should be conducted in other classes of other school, and the writer hopes
that there will be many researchers explore about how to apply Total Physical
Response more effectively in the future.

Darmi. 2012. Penguasaan Kosakata Bahasa Inggris Siswa Kelas 3 SD N Dukutalit
01 Juwana Tahun Pelajaran 2012/2013 yang Diajar Menggunakan Total
Physical Response (TPR). Skripsi. Program Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris

Kata Kunci : Penguasaan Kosakata, Total Physical Response (TPR)
Salah satu tujuan mengajar Bahasa Inggris di SD adalah untuk meningkatkan
siswa untuk mampu memahami kata-kata Bahasa Inggris yang mungkin mereka
temukan di lingkungan mereka. Kenyataannya siswa sering menemukan masalah
dalam mempelajari kata-kata. Sehingga ini membutuhkan lebih banyak perhatian
guru untuk membuat proses pengajaran kosakata lebih mudah untuk memahami dan
lebih menyenangkan untuk belajar. Sementara itu, siswa-siswa SD N Dukutalit 01
Juwana juga memiliki beberapa masalaah dalam mempelajari kosakata. Dari alasan
di atas, penulis tertarik untuk mengadakan penelitian berjudul “Penguasaan
Kosakata Bahasa Inggris Siswa Kelas 3 SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana Tahun Pelajaran
2012/2013 yang Diajar Menggunakan Total Physical Response (TPR)”
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (i) untuk mengetahui penguasaan kosakataa
siswa kelas 3 SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana tahun pelajaran 2012/2013 sebelum diajar
menggunakan Total Physical Response (TPR) (ii) untuk mengetahui penguasaan
kosakataa siswa kelas 3 SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana tahun pelajaran 2012/2013
setelah diajar menggunakan Total Physical Response (TPR) (iii) untuk mengetahui
penguasaan kosakataa siswa kelas 3 SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana tahun pelajaran
2012/2013 sebelum dan setelah diajar menggunakan Total Physical Response (TPR).
Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen dengan satu group pretest-
posttest. Sampel penelitian ini adalah semua siswa kelas 3 SD N Dukutalit 01
Juwana tahun pelajaran 2012/2013 yang terdiri dari 32 siswa. Sebelum menerapkan
Total Physical Response (TPR) untuk siswa kelas 3 SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana,
penulis memberikan uji coba kepada siswa kelas 3 SD N Bendar untuk mengetahui
reliabilitas soal tes. Hasil uji coba menunjukkan bahwa tes termasuk reliabilitas
tinggi (0,80)
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa (i) penguasaan kosakata siswa kelas
3 SD N Dukutalit 01 Juwana tahun pelajaran 2012/2013 sebelum diajar
menggunakan Total Physical Response (TPR) dikategorikan cukup. (rata-rata =
68,75, Standar Deviasi =13.5) (ii) penguasaan kosakata siswa kelas 3 SD N Dukutalit
01 Juwana tahun pelajaran 2012/2013 setelah diajar menggunakan Total Physical
Response (TPR) dikategorikan baik. (rata-rata = 89,91, Standar Deviasi =8,75) (iii)
ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara penguasaan kosakata siswa kelas 3 SD N
Dukutalit 01 Juwana tahun pelajaran 2012/2013 sebelum dan sesudah diajar
menggunakan Total Physical Response (TPR). Ini bisa dilihat pada t-penelitian lebih
tinggi daripada t-table (to = 11,45 > tt = 2,04).
xi
Berdasarkan proses dan hasil penelitian ini, penulis menyarankan bahwa (i)
Guru Bahasa Inggris menggunakan Total Physical Response (TPR) dalam mengajar
kosakata bahasa Inggris. Khusunya untuk menarik ketertarikan siswa dan motivasi
siswa (ii) siswa seharusnya mengembangkan kosakata mereka untuk menguasai
empat kemampuan bahasa. Siswa bisa menggunakan Total Physical Response (TPR)
untuk meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata (iii) untuk mendapatkan perluasan hasil
penelitian ini seperti aktifitas seharusnya dilaksanakan di kelas lain disekolah lain.
Penulis mengharapkan bahwa banyak penelitian memahami bagaimaana
mengaplikasikan Total Physical Response lebih efektif dan menyenangkan
