A survey was applied to this population as an instrument, through which it was possible to know the effectiveness of the TPR method for meaningful learning of English. As analysis methodology, description and comparison were used. An Excel matrix was produced; structured, categorized and detailed with specific objectives, categories, subcategories and finds, which showed how to compare and analyze each data obtained and thus see the results clearly. In conclusion, it can be stated that the results showed that the method raised interest and motivation, pursuing a significant learning of English, in an autonomous and self-regulated way, and at the same time facilitating the active participation of the student.
