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.
