Abstract

Total Physical Response (TPR) is a learning method that is beneficial to language learners via the process of contemplating the meaning being put across by their peers while the learners are encouraged to implement their own learning. The researcher deems TPR an effective tool for developing the students’ listening ability in the Chinese language class.

This research investigates how Total Physical Response helps develop the students’ Chinese listening skills among the 11^th graders of Nakorn Khon Kaen School. The research is based on the pre-experimental framework using one-group pretest-posttest design. Twenty-eight students who were studying in the 2^nd semester of the education year 2017 were selected using the purposive sampling method.  The research instruments consisted of; 1) Six teaching plans that integrated the TPR activities into the teaching of listening in a Chinese class, 2) Pretests and posttests gauging the students’ Chinese listening Skills, and 3)A learning participation observation Form. Mean, standard deviation, percentage, and progressive scores were used for data analysis.

          After the application of the TPR process, the students’ posttest scores were higher than the pretest ones. The average pretest score was 7.86 (39.29%), while the average score was 14.89 (74.46 %) for posttest. The students’ progressive score was observed to increase by 7.04 percent.
