This thesis discusses the use of picture-cued drill to teach English preposition (an Experimental Research at the Seventh Grade of SMP Negeri 3 Kandangan Kabupaten Temanggung in the Academic Year of 2012/2013). The objective of this study are (1) To find out the students’ achievement of preposition who have been taught using picture-cued drill (2) To find out the students’ achievement of preposition who have been taught using non picture-cued drill (3) To find out the difference between students’ achievement of preposition of students who have been taught through picture-cued drill and have been taught through non picture-cued drill.

The subject of this research is the seventh grade of SMP Negeri 3 Kandangan Kabupaten Temanggung. The research is an experimental research which involved two classes; the experimental class (VIIC) and the control class (VII B). The VII C was taught by using picture-cued drill, but the VIIB was taught without picture-cued drill. The researcher gave tryout test to tryout class (VIIIA). The test had been tried out to find out the validity, reliability, difficulty level, and discriminating power before it was used to gather the data. The formula that was used to analyze the data was t-test. It was used to determine whether there was a significant difference between students’ scores in the experimental class and in the control class or not.

After collecting the data, it was found that the pre-test average of the experimental class was 51. 04 and control class was 51. 46. While, the post-test average of the experimental class was 71.88 and control class was 61.67.Based on the result of calculation t-test is obtained t_count: 3. 37 andt_table: 1. 68. This shows thatt_count>t_table (t_counthigher thant_table). It means that there was significant difference in achievement of preposition between two groups. Since t-test score was higher than the t-table, picture-cued drill was an effective medium in teaching English preposition at SMP Negeri 3 Kandangan Kabupaten Temanggung in the academic year of 2012/2013.

Finally the researcher suggests to the teachers that they may use picture-cued drill as a medium in teaching English preposition.
