PENERAPAN METODE TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR) UNTUK PEMAHAMAN KALIMAT BAHASA JEPANG
Abstract
Total Physical Respon (TPR) method is one of language learning method. This
method contains elements of motion commands so that learning becomes more active.
Based on the observation, Japanese learning in MAN 2 Kulon Progo has not been
optimal because, the learning process is still oriented on teacher’s activity. Therefore,
applying an appropriate method such as Total Physical Respon (TPR) method might
achieve the goal. The purpose of this research is to describe the implementation of TPR
method in Japanese learning especially on understanding the sentences and knowing
about the responses of students towards TPR method.
The sample of this research are 21 students or all of Japanese club students of
MAN 2 Kulon Progo period 2018/2019. The result of this study were obtained from
observation, questionnaires and documentation. The data analysis technique used are
data reduction, data presentation, and verification.
The result obtained from study showed that the application of TPR method for
understanding Japanese sentence in Japanese club MAN 2 Kulon Progo was carried
out in three stages. The first is writing, the teacher writes down new vocabulary or new
sentence that has not known by student. The second, teacher gives examples of
pronounciation of Japanese sentence and followed by students repeatedly. And the third is practice, the teacher puts into practice the sentence while demonstrating the
sentences. After the TPR method applied, all of respondents (100%) stated the Japanese
language learning become more interesting especially on understanding the sentences
and most of the respondents (80.95%) felt the learning activities become more active.
