and are in B grade TK B. The ages of the students are between 4 to 5 years old. 3.
Instructional Materials A set of instructional materials can be a resource in pursuing the language
activities in hand Savignon, 1983: 32. Based on this definition, everybody whose purpose is to develop an organized plan to support the learning activities

combines the effectiveness of TPR with the power of Storytelling. The combination of Total Physical Response and Storytelling expands vocabulary by
including an action. With this method the students do not have to memorize all the vocabulary.

not only from how to say or pronounce the words but also from how to act or present the words through physical actions. In the storytelling activities, it
