Slide Presentations in Language Learning and Teaching

Slide presentation software (i.e. Microsoft PowerPoint) allows you to use colour, pictures, symbols, sound, and even movement for a more inclusive target language teaching and interaction with your class. Your students will also benefit from creating their own presentations in the L2 for different pedagogic purposes, mainly to consolidate understanding or for oral practice.
