Abstract

The trend of teaching English to young learners reflects the need to prepare children with English requirements for participation in global contexts. However, the inclusion of young English learners requires an appropriate methodology. Total Physical Response (TPR) is considered to involve students actively through physical actions, which can be more engaging than traditional approaches, particularly beneficial to beginners. Adopted a qualitative approach with questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observation, the study aims to explore how TPR methods can improve the effectiveness of teaching vocabulary and comprehension to young learners aged 5-9 at an English language center in Vietnam. The results showed improvements in both vocabulary and comprehension among learners, indicating that TPR made learning English enjoyable for children and actively engaged them in the process. Recommendations for TPR's contribution to English teaching and learning to enhance learners' language skills, particularly in early childhood education, have been given at the end of the study.
