Evaluating the Efficacy of Total Physical Response (TPR) in Video-Based Vocabulary Instruction: A Case Study at Dokuz Eylul University, Türkiye

Abstract

The goal of this study is to evaluate how the Total Physical Response Method (TPRM) is utilised to carry out the processes of teaching and learning vocabulary. In this examination, qualitative research was used as the methodology. The observation approach is by far the most common one utilised by researchers when it comes to data collection. The researcher accessed films on YouTube with the intention of studying and analysing the process of how vocabulary is taught and learned. Dokuz Eyluy University in Turkey supplied the research participants; all of them were either students or faculty members at the university majoring in English language studies or professionals in the field of teaching instructors of foreign languages. The findings of the research reveal that students find it easier to memorise new vocabulary when they acquire it using this strategy for the study of vocabulary. This is indicated by the fact that students found it simpler to memorise the new vocabulary. Students are able to learn vocabulary in a way that is both interesting and pleasurable with the help of this method, which incorporates both verbal and physical activity into the learning process.
