Abstract
 This program is a combination of The Community Development Partnership Program (CDPP) and research. It is one of the obligations of the writer in carrying out the University of Nusa Cendana's three principles, namely teaching, researching, and serving the community. The point of this program is Sunday School teachers in 22 and 24 service area of the Imanuel Church Oepura in Kupang, who will apply the method in Sunday School teaching every two weeks. This program is implemented per semester. There are three goals to be achieved; first, to run the English Day program that launched by the Governor of NTT, Viktor B. Laiskodat, secondly, to refresh and to give new atmosphere and enthusiasm for Sunday School teachers to maintain English language skills when attending school several years ago, and finally to support global tourism programs in the coming years in East Nusa Tenggara. Based on the analysis of the situation of young language learners in Sunday School, the writer set the method of Total Physical Response (TPR) through Bible-themed songs and games in English to develop the spirit and ability to learn English. This classic method is also still reaping the pros and cons but in its implementation, it still play role to be something interesting and easy for young language learners to get vocabulary and pleasant learning experiences. In general, the material can be well received because of the education background of Sunday School teachers from the High School level, Vocational School, and Sarjana Degree. Based on the application on Sunday School 55 participants, in 6-14 year old group could follow the instructions appropriately. Furthermore, in 3-5 year olds group only followed the movement of songs or games but could not understand the instructions or the aims of the games. The output of this program is to gradually begin with learning the names of Bible characters, places, and books in English, vocabulary and other games and songs to increase English vocabulary in speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in English that programmed in the curriculum also English Textbooks for Sunday School participants.
