This research was conducted based on the problems faced by the fourth grade students of SDN 3 Nunggalrejo. The problems are the low vocabulary achievement, the students’ participation during the teaching learning process, and the teacher’s teaching performance in that school. The students’ low vocabulary achievement is caused by some problems, one of them is the unsuitable teaching method used by the teacher to teach vocabulary.

So, the writer did a research which covered not only the students’ vocabulary achievement and the students’ participation but also the teacher’s teaching performance. The objectives of the research were to find out whether the TPR procedure was applicable to improve the students’ vocabulary achievement especially in written scores of the action verbs, to increase the quality of the teacher’s teaching performance and to increase the students’ participation during the teaching learning process while TPR procedure was implemented. The research was conducted at SDN 3 Nunggalrejo. The subject of the research was students of fourth grade in academic year 2009/ 2010 which consisted of 14 students. This Classroom Action Research was conducted in three cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation and interpretation, analysis and reflection. The researcher used indicators dealing with the learning product which covered the students’ score and learning process which covered the students’ participation during the teaching learning process and the teacher’s teaching performance. Moreover, those indicators were achieved if the students’ score had reached 60, 70 for teacher’s teaching performance and 75% for the students’ participation. To collect the data of the learning process and learning product, the writer used vocabulary test and observation as the instruments.
