This research aimed to describe about the relationship between students’ learning style and using of power point presentation toward their achievement in English learning. The method which was used in this research was survey method through correlational research.

However, only class of IAT. B was chosen as the sample by using purposive sampling. Furthermore there were three variables in this research. The first one was students’ learning style (variable Xx), the second one was students’ perception in using of power point presentation (variable Xy), and the last was students’ achievement in English learning (variable Y). The students’ learning style score and students’ perception about using of power point presentation were taken from the questionnaire whereas the student’ achievement in English learning was taken from documentation. In analyzing the data and testing the hypothesis, the writer used SPSS 16 to found the correlation statistic where the results of pearson correlation is r = 0.171 with sig. (2-tailed) = 0.366 where 0.366 > 0.05. It means that null hypothesis (H) is accepted and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is rejected. From the research finding, it can be concluded that there was no significant relationship between students’ learning style and using of power point presentation toward their achievement in English learning. It means that students’ learning style and using of media power point presentation is not a dominant factor that affects the students’ achievement. In this case, other factors such as motivation, aptitude, cognitive ability, and any other factors are maybe more dominant in affecting students’ English achievement than students’ learning style.
