10 ABSTRAK Skripsi yang berjudul Comparative Analysis between Audio-lingual and Total Physical Response Methods in English Language Learning for Kindergarten Students ini adalah study mengenai linguistik. Studi ini muncul karena adanya perdebatan mengenai rencana pemerintah untuk menghapuskan pelajaran bahasa Inggris di Sekolah Dasar. Perdebatan tersebut memunculkan spekulasi-spekulasi yang menarik untuk diteliti, antara lain pengaruh umur dan metode pengajaran bahasa dalam keberhasilan suatu pengajaran bahasa terutama bahasa asing. Dalam study ini berfokus pada pembelajaran bahasa dan pemerolehan bahasa pada anak anak umur 5 tahun. Objek penelitian adalah pembelajaran bahasa di sebuah taman kanak-kanak dan membahas fenomena-fenomena pemerolehan bahasa di dalam proses pengajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing (foreign language). Penelitian berdasarkan pendapat Krashen yang menyatakan bahwa membandingkan dua metode pembelajaran bahasa akan menuju kepada sebuah penelitian bahasa. Metode yang digunakanadalah Audio-lingual dengan Total Physical Response. Materi yang digunakan rancangan bersama antara guru-guru dan peneliti. Untuk mengetahui kemajuan dalam pembelajaran penilti merekam kegiatan belajar-mengajar. Dalam study ini Audio-lingual dianggap lebih berhasil diterapkan pada anakanak. Hal ini berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang berpedoman pada keberhasilan para siswa menyerap materi pembelajaran serta didukung oleh pendapat guru-guru. Akan tetapi tidak menutup kemungkinan di tempat yang lain dengan jenis penelitian yang sama akan mendapatkan hasil yang berbeda pula. Sebab dari itu hasil dari penelitian ini bukan akhir. Hasil studi ini melainkan sebagai bahan pertimbangan untuk para pengajar bahasa dan peneliti bahasa lainnya kelak. 10
