In this study, the experimental design was true experiment and used convenience sampling. The sample was selected based on random assignment. The sample in this study were 32 form four male students from secondary school. Group 1, the experimental group had an N of 16 and received the PowerPoint presentation in learning prepositions. Group 2, the control, had an N of 16 and received the traditional teaching presentation in learning prepositions.
