The experimental group was taught by using Total Physical Response Storytelling while the control group taught without using Total Physical Response Storytelling. The instrument of collecting the data was an oral test. To obtain the result of the reliability of the test, the researcher used the Product Moment Formula. The result of the calculation showed that the reliability of the test was 0.63, which means that the reliability of the test is high. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result of the analysis showed that t_observed is exceeded than t_table (3,692 > 1,994) at the level of significance of 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 70.
