INTRODUCTION
Agropolitan City is one of the names for Rejang Lebong Regency. This designation is obtained because most of the area consists of hills, which makes most of its residents work as farmers who produce commodities consisting of various types of vegetables and fruits. Apart from that, Rejang Lebong Regency is also one of the largest districts in Bengkulu Province which has an important role. This is because Rejang Lebong Regency is regency that connects Bengkulu Province with South Sumatra, Jambi, Lampung and West Sumatra Provinces. This district consists of 15 districts, namely as follows: Padang Ulak Tanding, Sindang Beliti Ilir, Padang City, Selupu Rejang, Bermani Ulu Raya, Sindang Kelingi, Sindang Beliti Ulu, Bermani Ulu, Binduriang, Sindang Dataran, Curup , Curup Selatan, Curup Timur, Curup Utara and Curup Tengah (BPS, 2016 ) .
Of the fifteen (15) sub-districts, each sub-district has a school that is the center of education in its area. There are various schools located in each sub-district, there are schools based on public schools, such as public and private schools, some are based on religion, such as Islamic boarding schools or madrasahs. Each of these schools has its own advantages and disadvantages. These schools can produce human resources who can develop an area or become an icon by carrying the name of the area. Of the several types of schools that exist, what have attracted attention are madrasah schools. This madrasah school is not too deep into studying religious sciences and Arabic such as Islamic boarding schools and also not too deep into general sciences such as English, Science, Social Sciences, and others like other public schools. The school has more advantages when compared with other public schools, namely in the field of religious side.
Madrasah has several levels such as MIN which is equivalent to SD, MTS which is equivalent to SMP and MAN which is equivalent to SMA. In Rejang Lebong Regency, there are 27 madrasah consisting of 12 MIN or equivalent, 9 MTsN or equivalent, and 6 MAN or equivalent (Interview Results of Staff in the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Rejang Lebong Regency, 2017). But the conditions indicated by educational development in particular madrasah rated lack of competitiveness juxtaposed with the public schools and other boarding schools. This can at least be judged by their ability to use foreign languages such as English. With their religion-based school foundation, they should find it easier to master or use English. However, this is very contrary to existing expectations. Likewise, with mastery of English, very few madrasah students master or are able to communicate using English.
The language proficiency of English students is still very low when compared to general schools and Islamic boarding schools. This is because students in madrasah have difficulty understanding learning and a lack of Arabic and English learning media. Based on preliminary observation data in MAN Rejang Lebong Regency, the data shows that the ability to master Besides wanting to improve the ability to understand English, the servant also wants to instill character values in students of MAN Rejang Lebong Regency. It is hoped that these character values will minimize the crime rate that occurs to children in this district. Do not let the crime of rape and murder of "Yuyun" happen again, which has shocked this country. Where girls were raped by 14 youths and killed sadistically and not humanly. The killings were because the children were under the influence of alcohol. From this case, servant also wants to emphasize character education in schools. It is not only students' cognitive values that must be put forward, but also students' affective values (Apriani, 2015). Service is also in line with government programs Rejang Lebong to reduce poverty and promote human development level through education.
One way that can be used in improving the value of cognitive and also affective is to use you right media for interesting learning so it is not only enhance cognitive abilities but also instill character of the child is important (Apriani, 2016;Apriani, 2019;Azwandi, et al. 2019;  (2016), it was found that flashcards can improve vocabulary skills for Kindergarten children in Samarinda. Kindergarten students are very interested and excited when the teacher teaches English vocabulary using flashcards. Flashcards are a learning media that is easy to use in the learning process ( Rachmita , 2016) . Rahmasari (2016) also found that the use of flashcards as a teaching medium for grade 4 students of SDN Sukosari 02 D Perdagangan Malam is effective in improving students' vocabulary skills. Flashcards make an effective contribution to student grades (Rahmasari, 2016).
