IMPROVING ENGLISH VOCABULARY MASTERY THROUGH TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE METHOD IN EARLY CHILDHOOD. In general, the language component consists of three, namely grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Vocabulary is a language center and is important for language learning. Without sufficient vocab, one can not communicate effectively or express all his ideas either orally or in writing. Teaching vocabulary especially in early childhood should be emphasized, because having sufficient vocabulary will make it easier for children to communicate. In addition, early childhood is a very vulnerable or golden age, because at this time the child’s brain has accelerated the development of up to 80% of the entire adult brain. Total Physical Response is the perfect method for learning English for early childhood because the general purpose of the TPR method is to teach oral language skills at the beginner level. Thus, students understand spoken language before developing speaking skills, emphasizing the transfer of communication information.
