САЖЕТАК:

This paper aims to explore the role of listening in developing primary students’ speaking skills. For the purpose of this paper an experimental research was conducted in the primary school “Milica Milošević“ in Jagnjilo. A sample of ten students of the first grade, age 7, participated in this study by doing a speaking test and a listening comprehension test. The researcher used the instrument of assessment to measure the effectiveness of the TPR method in the form of a pre-test and post-test to assess changes. In addition, the post-test was also carried out regarding the listening comprehension, while pre-test and post-test dealt only with oral pro- duction of vocabulary items. The study shows that TPR method influences long-term retention to a great extent and is effective in acquiring new vocabulary items. Findings also indicate that TPR can be an effective tool to help raise an affective filter and motivate students to be more active. Due to the fact that during a learning-teaching activity, students do not only listen to the teacher’s explanations, they become active by responding to the commands from the teacher or they could give commands as well.
