Teaching English with PowerPoint

Abstract

The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) has become ubiquitous in modern education. PowerPoint (PP) is a popular presentation software which can be successfully exploited in foreign language teaching settings, however, its effectiveness depends on the teacher’s resourcefulness. This paper highlights the benefits and limitations of applying PP to design an ESL/EAP lesson and presents practical examples of implementing the slideware to facilitate the teaching/learning process.
