Abstract This study evaluates the value of the total physical response (TPR) method for teaching Igbo to L2 learners. Specifically, it evaluates which of these methods is more effective. It is quantitative research which adopts the experimental design. 100 students are placed in control and experimental groups of 50 students each, taught Igbo lexis and structure, and evaluated. Data analysis, by using the independent samples t-test at a 0.05 significance level, reveals that the majority of the students taught with the TPR method achieved the group’s mean score and generally performed better than the students taught with the audio-lingual method, whose majority failed to achieve the group’s lower mean score. The study, therefore, recommends the use of the TPR method for teaching Igbo to L2 learners.

语音和TPR方法对L2学习者教授Igbo的影响

摘要这项研究评估了总物理反应（TPR）方法在向L2学习者教授Igbo方面的价值。具体来说，它将评估这些方法中哪种更有效。采用实验设计的定量研究。将100名学生分为对照组和实验组，每组50名学生，教授Igbo词汇和结构，并进行评估。通过在0.05的显着性水平上使用独立样本t检验进行数据分析，结果表明，使用TPR方法教的大多数学生达到了该组的平均分数，并且总体上比使用音频语言方法教的学生表现更好。多数未能达到该组较低的平均得分。因此，该研究建议使用TPR方法向L2学习者教授Igbo。
