Moreover, a teacher should use communicative language teaching in teaching English for students (Arjulayana & Pujiati, 2.
Technology is an aspect that has become an integral part of human life today.
Linguistically, the term technology is derived from the combination of two words, namely Tekhnikos .
, which means the most efficient way to achieve something, and Logos, which means knowledge (Salsabila et al.
, 2.
Literally, technology can be understood as the science or knowledge of methods and skills used to achieve specific goals.
This is usually related to the practical application of science to produce solutions for various challenges in human life.
ICT (Information and Communication Technolog.
refers to all technologies used to manage, process, store, and disseminate information.
It encompasses various hardware, software, and systems that enable communication and information exchange, such as computers, the internet, mobile phones, and telecommunications networks (Warsita, 2.
ICT includes two aspects: information technology and communication technology.
Information technology encompasses everything related to the processes, use as an aid, manipulation, and management of information, while communication technology refers to everything related to the use of aids to process and transfer data from one device to another (Rusman et.
al, 2.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, such as personal computers (PC.
, social media platforms, and presentation software like PowerPoint, play a pivotal role in enhancing the implementation of these educational principles (Alfisuma et al.
, 2023.

with the title " "Development of PowerPoint-Based Interactive Learning Media and its Implications for Class VII-A Middle School Mathematics MaterialAy, and conducted by (Mulyanah, 2.
with the title "Using PowerPoint Program in Improving Students' Vocabulary Mastery".
The difference between this research and research conducted by (Gulo & Harefa, 2.
, and (Mulyanah, 2.
is the focus of this research is the analysis of PowerPoint development in English language learning media in Islamic boarding schools, while research conducted by (Nabila et al.
, 2.
focuses on the use of learning media in introducing characters in a literary work, research conducted by (Gulo & Harefa, 2.
focuses on developing PowerPoint-based interactive media on Mathematics material in class VII-A Middle Schools, and research conducted by (Mulyanah, 2018 ) focuses on the use of PowerPoint in developing the vocabulary of high school students in class XII IPA and XII IPS.
Based on the above description, this research aims to examine the extent to which the use of PowerPoint can enhance students' understanding of English learning This study employs a descriptive qualitative research method with observational and interview semi-structured data collection techniques.

RESEARCH METHOD
This study explores the development of PowerPoint as a learning media in teaching English in a pesantren with a qualitative approach.
To gain a deeper understanding, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five selected students, allowing for a detailed exploration of their perspectives.
These interviews did not follow a rigid set of questions but instead allowed for open-ended questions, making the discussion more flexible (Doyle, in Hutami & Alfisuma, 2.
In addition to interviews, classroom observations were carried out to gain an overview of the effectiveness of PowerPoint in learning.
Observations enable the recording of phenomena or behaviors in their natural setting (Sugiyono, 2.
Data from both the interviews and observations were then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and themes.
Thematic analysis is crucial for maintaining the rigor of qualitative research and ensuring the authenticity and validity of the data (Nowell et , 2.
The discussion of this study is organized into three sections.
The first.
Pre-Teaching PowerPoint Use, explores how PowerPoint was employed as a tool to prepare students, generate interest, and introduce the initial material before the main Title of manuscript is short and clear Last name of all authors n P-ISSN: 2301-9913 | E-ISSN: 2597-9132 teaching began.
The second section.
While-Teaching PowerPoint Use, evaluates the effectiveness of PowerPoint as a primary teaching tool, focusing on its impact on student engagement and immediate understanding during the lesson.
Finally, the Post-Teaching PowerPoint Use section examines how PowerPoint was utilized to reinforce student comprehension after the lesson, emphasizing its role in enhancing retention and encouraging reflection on the material learned.

These two channels work together to help the process of understanding information more deeply.
The visual channel captures information presented visually, such as images, diagrams, and videos, while the verbal channel processes information conveyed through text or audio.
Video, as part of the visual channel, plays an important role in conveying information dynamically so that it can increase student understanding and engagement during the learning process.
Music and lyric video given before explaining the material session prove that learning English can be initiated by watching music lyric videos.
