Furthermore, the teacher did not apply a good and interesting method to increase students’ writing ability. The teacher still used conventional method during teaching learning process. The teacher seems dominating write classroom activities and minimalist the students’ participation in the classroom.

She concluded that PowerPoint is a very useful aid for teachers when used moderately and prepared correctly. The objective of the presentation must be to engage the audience, help them understand and provoke thoughts.
