Abstract:
The study analyses the difficulties encountered by learners of French at T.I Ahmadiyya
Senior High School, Wa in the use of preposition « à » in writing. The point of departure of
the study is that most of the learners should be able to read texts in French and construct
simple sentences with the preposition. It was discovered learners of aforementioned school
had difficulties in the usage of prepositions during reading and writing. Analysis of
collected data through test item and questionnaire in connection with learners’
performances confirmed that most of the difficulties were as a result of the influence of the
English language as well as the inappropriate teaching and learning methods used by
teachers. As a result, the study has therefore identified some methods of intervention to be
put in place to remedy the situation. These include using a much more convenient approach
in teaching and learning. Finally, engaging the students more with activities such as tests,
and quizzes associated with the use of the preposition « à »
