Abstract: The use of PowerPoint for teaching presentations has considerable potential for encouraging more professional presentations. This paper reviews points associated with its use in a teaching and learning context and suggests some guidelines and pedagogical strategies that need to be considered where it is to be used. It summaries some of the key principles of presentation that are frequently ignored and suggests some of the approaches that need to be incorporated into good practice in Life Science teaching and learning. Its use is often limited to an information transmission mode and this paper emphasises that this is a very restricted pedagogical use of a very powerful and flexible teaching and learning support tool. The impact of technology on language learning and language teaching proves to be a fortunate thing in case of English. TELL, i.e. Technology Enhanced Language Learning, has changed the entire language classroom environment. The present review paper is an attempt to put in the picture the latest technology enhanced language learning facility made available by the use of PowerPoint.
