 The
world of ICT offers many opportunities
for innovation by teachers. Every development
in ICT has a potential role in the language
classroom waiting to be explored and
defined. Just as ICT is becoming more
ubiquitous in our daily lives, it is
similarly becoming more significant
in our schools. It is therefore imperative
that classroom practitioners keep abreast
of advancements in ICT. This course
is designed to provide participants
with the opportunity to get better acquainted
with Microsoft PowerPoint as a presentation
and teaching tool. Activities chosen
for the course serve to highlight practical
and productive ideas for using Microsoft
PowerPoint in supporting language instruction.

Notebook
computers have been provided to many
English language teachers as part of
the Ministry of Education's efforts
to enhance the teaching of English.
Microsoft PowerPoint presentation software
is ubiquitous since it is packaged with
all of these notebooks. Microsoft PowerPoint
is a very robust program that allows
users to create exciting presentations.
Also, Microsoft PowerPoint is relatively
easy to master compared to other more
sophisticated authoring tools. This
ubiquity and ease-of-operation provides
the rationale for equipping ELT trainers
with the skills necessary to use PowerPoint
for designing and developing multimedia
courseware applets for language teaching.
