In pre questionnaire, the students gave response in teaching learning process before the action. The explanation was as follows. In the first category,
there were 9 students 22.5 who were satisfied with their score in English they have got. It was predicted that most of the students often got low score for their
test. Then, there were 20 students 50 who liked to learn rules in English and only there were 20 students who did not like to learn some rules in English. They
thought that was complicated enough to be learnt. Next, there were 10 students 25 who felt motivated when they followed teaching learning process in
material prepositions of place. It could be predicted that the teaching learning process was boring. Therefore there were only few students who felt motivated in
teaching learning process. Then, there were 11 students 27.5 who could understand the teacher‟s explanation of prepositions of place so far. It was
predicted that the teacher gave fast or unclear explanation. Besides, the teacher used not understandable language to explain the teaching material.
In the second category, it showed that there were 30 students 75 who found some difficulties in using prepositions of place in sentences. It was because
the students still did not understand well about prepositions of place. Therefore, most of them could not do the task of prepositions of place well too. Then, there
were 21 students 52.5 who could remember the meaning of each prepositions of place, and 19 students 47.5 could not remember the meaning of each
prepositions of place. Next, there were 10 students 25 who could do the task about prepositions of place well. It was predicted the students had no idea how to
do the task. They preferred to cheat or ask to her his friends to finish the task. Then, there were 28 students 70 who had the difficulties to differ the using of
prepositions of place. It was predicted that some students were still confused to differ each meaning of prepositions of place. Next, there were only 6 students
15 who liked asking to the teacher if they have not understood yet about prepositions of place. It was predicted that the students were shy to ask question
to their teacher. Then, there were 15 students 37.5 who realized that sentences of prepositions of place were related to the students
‟ daily life. It was predicted that some of other students still did not know what prepositions of place was.
Therefore, they did not really care about the use of prepositions of place. Related to the result above, it could be concluded that there were needed to
solve some stu dents‟ problem and the students‟ ability could increase indirectly.

learning process.
