Abstract

This study aimed to identify using the power of two strategy to improve students' ability to use prepositions in sentences. This study applied classroom action research in which the data was gathered in four steps: plan, action, observation, and reflection. The participants of this study were 27 junior high school students in the ninth grade. This study applied quantitative and qualitative methods in interpreting the data. The quantitative data was collected from the exam, while the qualitative data gathered from the interview, observation sheet, diary note, and documentation. The study revealed that there was an increase in the students' abilities to use prepositions. The number of students who received a score of 70 or higher in the pre-test was 25.92 percent indicated that seven students obtained a score of 70 or higher in the pre-test. The post-test percentage of the first cycle was 40.74 percent, indicating that 11 students achieved a score of 70 or higher; meanwhile, in the post-test of second cycle it was 88,89%. It amounted to a 14,82 percent increase from pre-test to post-test I and a 48,15 percent higher from the first cycle's post-test to the second cycle's post-test. It showed that using the power of two strategy in teaching prepositions is beneficial and that using the power of two strategy enhanced students' ability to use prepositions in sentences. The researcher used the t-test formula to test hypotheses. The t count coefficient was calculated to be 13,22, and the coefficient of t table to df= N-1 = 26 with level = 0,05 was 2,06. It indicated that the t count coefficient (13,22) was higher than t table's coefficient (2,06). As a result, the hypothesis alternative (Ha) is obtained. Ha implies that the power of two strategy would improve students' ability to master prepositions.
