This final project is an action research. In this study, I limit the discussion by
stating the following problem: ?How can AGPA (Application Game Power Point Audio)
improve the students? vocabulary at third grade of MI BANU HASYIM?? The objective
of the study is to explain AGPA can improve the students? vocabulary with use
implementation the strategy in the classroom. It is expected that the result of the study
will provide a deeper understanding about using AGPA as teaching strategy for English
teachers and also for the readers. There were four steps in conducting this action research:
planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The population of this study was the students
of Elementary School of MI BANU HASYIM. The sample of this study was third class.
The number of the student was 15 students. There were four meetings during the
implementation.
The research findings showed that AGPA was effective strategy to teach
vocabulary at of MI BANU HASYIM Jati Waru Sidoarjo because it was the the first time
they studied by using AGPA. It was indicated on the students? score of post test in cycle

scores improved in post test. The students? average result in post test was 88% students
could past the test well. The improvement was also shown in the students? performances
in the class when the researcher asked them, the students could answer well and the
classroom atmospher. It means the students before and after the researcher gave
treatment.
Based on the research findings, the researcher concluded of some instrument. The
first (observation), the students? repontses and the classroom atmosphere for every
meeting when the reseacher implement are good well. The second (Questionnaire), the
strategy is easier and motivated them to learning vocabulary. The third (test), the
students? score can reach the KKM. So the reseacher was successful to give treatment for
the students.

strategies as to increase students? enthusiasm in learning English. This result hopefully
would motivate teachers to use the AGPA in their classroom, especially when teaching
vocabulary but they must explain clearly when their use it. For the next researchers who
