This would be great for students to develop the knowledge of vocabulary, or it can be encouraged for them to have an average of seven words per day. Therefore, this paper focused on discussing Total Physical Response (TPR) which concerns on speech and actions at the same time. It could be an old strategy but still the gold one which emphasizes meaningful and purposeful vocabulary for young learners.
