The Most Suitable Method

The best method for Indonesian students is total physical response. In my opinion, this method can make the lesson more interesting. As I feel as an Indonesian student, almost all the text book and the way the teacher teach is only listen, drill and practice. With using total physical response, the class’s atmosphere would be changed. The reason why is that this method use the physical response of the students so that it makes the students have less time to get bored and feel sleepy. The other reason, when using this method, learning will fun and reduce the stressfulness. Moreover, if the students’ stressfulness is reduced, the lesson that the teacher gives could be easier to understand by the student. Students will mastered what they learn not only by remembering what is written in text book or what the teacher said, but also with their understanding about the movement that they did in classroom.
            Those are the reasons why I think this method are the most suitable method for Indonesian context. However, this method seems like more effective for kinesthetic students because it uses physical movement. For the others multiple intelligences, this method is working but not as effective as in kinesthetic students. To maintain classroom, teacher needs to do effective teaching by learning all the methods and apply them in the right situation. Still, the use of total physical response gives more advantages than its disadvantages.

Actually, total physical response is used mostly for remembering, the lowest part in bloom taxonomy. Indonesia is country that has national examination which the questions are still remembering. That is the reason why, Total physical response is the best method for Indonesian students.

actually for me learn language is not for remembering but the understanding of the context.

if you teach english as a foreign language and you use only TPR the result is just remembering.

I think no one of method that very appropriate for indonesian students, we have to combine the methods.
yes, students will pass the national examination which assess the remembering but you as teacher want your students not only remember the material but they can apply it in their daily life right. that's why i said combine two or more method will be better because the result is not only remembering but students can apply it in their life :)
