Listening is simple considerant as an adjunct of speaking. Tape programs contained, models for repetition, cues for spoken drills and recordings of reading selection. When the researcher observed MTs Sulaiman Yasin Samarinda, to improve the students’ listening, the English teacher give some command sentences and orders the students to do what have ordered. But the students felt depressed of the way to teach them. This method would make students get bored and depressed to listen anything what teacher said.

The subject of this research were the students at Seventh Grade of MTs Sulaiman Yasin Samarinda in second semester that consists of 26 students. The purpose of this research was to improve students’ listening skill by using total physical response method at seventh grade of MTs Sulaiman Yasin Samarinda. The design of this research used Classroom Action Research (CAR) which was adapted from Kurt Lewin’s design. It consists of two cycles in which each cycle contains four phases; planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The criteria of success of this research were 70% of students get score test 75.
