ABSTRACT Annisa Nurul Ramadhani, 2314.004. The Effect of Using Power Point on Students’ Grammar Mastery on Simple Past Tense to Tenth Grade Students of MTI Candung In Academic Year 2018/2019. A thesis, State Islamic Institute Bukittinggi, 2019. This research has been done at MTI Candung, this research was due to several problems found in the field about teaching grammar specially simple past tense that are; the students’ grammar mastery still low. They still cannot ensure themselves that they use correct from of past verb since in the past tense there are two forms of past verb that they can choose regular and irregular past verb. The student were bored in learning grammar; it could be seen from their behavior in grammar learning activity in classroom, they tended to do other activities every time they do not try to solve it by themselves. The teacher used conventional technique; for instance, the teacher explained the rules of simple past tense directly and students write the sentences as teacher wrote in the class. Due to the problem, researcher concluded that learning grammar is not easy for some students. The researcher was aimed to find empirical evidence of whether or not power point was effect in teaching past tense at the tenth grade students of MTI Canduang The method of this research was a quasi-experimental method employing one group pretest and posttest design. The sample of this research was taken by using purposive sampling technique. The sample was 28 students as an experimental class that learnt past tense using power point. The data of this research was taken by using pretest and posttest. To analyze the data, the researcher used the normality by using Lilifors test and F test to test homogeneity, and to test hypothesis the researcher used t-test formula and consulted the result into t table with the level of significant α 0.05. The finding in this research show that the hypothesis (Ha) were accepted. First, from the result of according the pretest and posttest score from the experiment class. It was found that the t obtained 3.7426 was higher than the t table 1.669 with degree of freedom (df) 54 and α 0.05. So, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted which means that there is significant effect using power point and conventional technique. Second, from the result was prove from first hypothesis found that the students’ using power point is better than conventional technique on students’ grammar mastery especially on simple past tense.
