I INTRODUCTION

1 Reasons for selecting the topic

Although PowerPoint has been in existence for many years, it has just begun to spread to schools and English classrooms The reason for this delay is that technology requires hardware, which is relatively expensive However, more and more classrooms and teachers have computers and the equipment to use PowerPoint Not only are more teachers using these presentations, but more are producing their own Some are even placing them on websites for others to download PowerPoint is a useful tool that is now being used in many classrooms

Before continuing, let me give a brief definition PowerPoint is a type of presentation software that allows one to show colored text and images with simple animation and sound PowerPoint is just one of many types of presentation software Hyper-Studio is another

PowerPoint is the most popular because it comes bundled with Microsoft packages PowerPoint will run on either Macintosh or Windows PC's The files are easy to create and can be e-mailed as attachments They can be posted on or downloaded from websites, and can be converted to html webpages Not only can PowerPoint presentations be traded and exchanged, they can also be modified to fit any individual classroom setting Although other presentation software may have the same capabilities, PowerPoint is the most common, and it

is user friendly

PowerPoint presentations can be used in many ways in the English classroom as well as in other classrooms Presentations can be used for initial teaching, for practice and drilling, for games, for reviews, and for tests

Purpose of using Powerpoint

Powerpoint is widely used in study and work, helping users create report slides for presentations Depending on the needs of the user, Powerpoint is used for many different purposes, such as: Create presentations for your products and services; Create visual lessons for classes; Use for personal purposes such as mind mapping and family photo slideshows

Because of the requiremental subject and factual teaching, I made a plan:

“How to use PowerPoint programs in teaching English at Dong Anh primary and secondary school” That is the reason why I choose this topic

2 Aims of research

Teaching English or any other language especially to large classes of kindergarten, primary schools, secondary schools and absolute beginner students, can prove to be a nightmare at times As a teacher, I found the use of PowerPoint presentations a great aid in my teaching (by large classes I mean classes of 35 to 40 or more students) At my school, large classes are common

So how do you teach a class of 35- 45 students staring at you, hungry for knowledge? So what about small classes? Needless to say that most often it is

presentations are great for large classes, then they make teaching smaller classes seem too easy

Luckily, most classrooms in my school are well equipped with overhead projectors and in some cases they have school computer networks and

Classrooms P.A Systems

Being a novice in using the computer, I always did not know how to get started However, when I eventually began using MS PowerPoint to create classroom presentations, I soon realized the similarities it shares with MS word, which I was vaguely familiar with at the time In a few weeks of using PowerPoint presentations, I was amazed by the results All of a sudden my students could concentrate long enough for me to drive home new language points With new language points well into their brains, classroom games followed with ease This was when I understood why some of my brilliant classroom games had failed in the past The principal of the school soon recognized my work and asked me to share all my PowerPoint lesson plans on the school network; I think I gladly did

3 Object of research and application of innovations

The initiative applies to students in kidergaten, primary school, secondary school and high school

Methodology: Use PowerPoint programs in teaching by many ways in the English classroom as well as in other classrooms It can be used for initial teaching, for practicing and drilling, for games, for reviews, and for tests

4 Methodolody of research

PowerPoint presentations are easy to obtain, modify, and create They are versatile and a great asset to any classroom Good presentations may take time

to produce or adapt, but they can be shared and used year after year They can be used for whole class presentations and reviews, for drills, or for individual work PowerPoint presentations run on both Macintosh and Windows platforms Files are small unless many pictures and sounds are added Small files are easily stored These presentations can be viewed with a computer monitor, a television set, or a projector Because of all these advantages, we are going to see more and more PowerPoint presentations used in English language teaching

5 New points of the initiative experience

Some basic steps in making Powerpoint lessons and how to use the powerpoint programs in teaching English lessons

1 Rationale of the experience idea

As we have seen in years, especially in recent years, the education and training department of Thanh Hoa province and the education and training department of Dong Son district are very interested in teaching and learning English The provincial and district education departments regularly organize good teacher competitions, excellent contests at district and provincial levels Every year, the Department and the Education and Training Department have

conducted school inspections to advise and motivate teachers to achieve higher results In addition, the Department of Education and the Department recently held a seminar on the application of experience idea standards in the organization of active teaching; To renovate the evaluation and evaluation in order to promote the teaching methodology reform for teachers and professional organizations in the inter-school system so as to draw lessons on teaching effectiveness Most English teachers in the district have tried to learn, to create innovative and effective methods of teaching In the teaching process, teachers have tried to apply flexible teaching methods and teaching techniques to the right students; Students themselves are more interested in the subject, so that the quality of English is increasing English has become a core subject like other cultural subjects but is still a difficult subject and not every student is gifted with learning a foreign language to learn it easily

Some students, especially individual students, still lack the sense of learning, lack of patience in learning, not keeping pace with new learning methods, still confused in the acquisition and manipulation of knowledge Into practice skills Many children are not aware of the subject matter is not correct,

do not fully understand the meaning of the subject in the international integration period, some children only learn because of curiosity, so it is difficult

to learn to drop loose Therefore, they are not serious and have no motivation to learn English properly

With the requirement of educational renovation, the school's facilities are more and more fully equipped But because of the lack of uniformity in classrooms (classrooms, tables, chairs, pictures .), it affects the students' absorption, causing them to feel tired and depressed

Throughout the years, with new curriculum and textbooks, new methods

of teaching and learning, many students are interested in the subject, dynamic in all activities but mostly students are good and good Students are very weak, they are not sure about their knowledge, study passively, wait for results of their friends, many students are afraid to practice speaking in class, afraid to say will

be wrong, Some of them have not read well, do not even take notes in class nor

do homework, they do not have appropriate learning methods PowerPoint is a presentation program It automatically creates a sense of formality in a classroom Many students respond to PowerPoint excitedly.They tend to be more active, more inclined to talk If you desire a more relaxed classroom atmosphere, they are very intersted in the PowerPoint lessons

2 The problem states before applying this experience idea

During my work and teaching at Dong Anh secondary and primary school, I personally am a direct teacher Through the years of teaching, apply traditional teaching aids such as textbooks, workbooks, pictures, realiable things, cassettes

as well as new teaching aids at school: A regular computer monitor, a special projector, an ordinary television set with PowerPoint lessons I draw the following comparison chart:

Traditional lessons:

New method:

PoewPoint lessons

However, the application of using PowerPoint programs in teaching also has difficulties and advantages

a Difficulties:

When implementing this new method, it requires the teacher to spend more time preparing for each type of slices

Teacher must use the computer perfectly and know to design the lessons

by power point programs

PowerPoint can be used to teach new ideas and concepts to students In theory this sounds very good; however, in practice this can be tricky The teacher must anticipate areas of misunderstanding and difficulty Once the teacher knows the troubles, which the students will face, he or she can create or adapt a presentation for the students The presentation must be clear and uncluttered It should address anticipated areas of student difficulty in an orderly manner This type of presentation is difficult to prepare

b Advantages:

In addition to the difficulties mentioned above If the teachers use the power point programs in teaching English sensibly and reasonably, the students' learning is very effective They have the opportunity to improve their knowledge, not boring, passive And more than that, students apply more flexibly in practice

Moreover once an initial teaching presentation is prepared, it can be saved and used again and again, and it can be shared with others
