“…In Vietnam, only a few studies deal with using PowerPoint presentations in teaching and learning languages. For example, Nam and Lap [23] study the impact of implementing PowerPoint in teaching vocabulary in English classes in a Vietnamese secondary education setting.

The current study was set out to find out the attitudes of ELT majors toward the use of PowerPoint in group presentations and how they used the software when presenting. Data was collected through the use of questionnaire, interview and class observation. The results indicate that the majority of ELT majors had positive attitudes toward the use of PowerPoint in group presentation for their user-friendly quality and multimedia functions combining audio-visual features. It was also found that group members usually prepared slides individually before one member combined all and created a slideshow. During presentations, ELT majors relied on the key points in the slides to talk but a significant number of them just read from the slides. They also claimed to make use of the archiving and display functions of PowerPoint to create activities that help reinforce and review the contents presented. From the findings, suggestions to teachers and group members to review the contents and rules to design and use well the software for group presentations were made.

“…A study by Nam and Trinh (2012) in two Vietnamese EFL secondary classrooms found the teacher's use of PowerPoints significantly increased English vocabulary learning by providing authentic material in a meaningful context involving sound, pictures, video, and animation. Creative use of PowerPoints in a storytelling approach to teaching English vocabulary significantly increased vocabulary learning of students 8 to 14 years old in a language center in Iran (Kalantar & Hashemian, 2015).…”

Abstract. This study explores the use of Rasch modeling to assess the appropriateness of using unique instructional activities for classroom learning of content vocabulary and concepts. Through a case study of secondary students' learning economics vocabulary from a multimedia instructional activity, the authors identify the difficulty level of key vocabulary items after instruction and estimate the word learning ability of individual students. A teacher of interdisciplinary reading/social studies at an American alternative school for learning and socially challenged adolescents integrated a technology activity into an economics unit. Students in all of his classes created PowerPoint slides for 16 target words and presented them to their peers. Vocabulary knowledge was assessed after the presentations with two teachercreated definition assessments: a matching and a free recall test. Rasch analysis of individual word scores showed creating PowerPoints resulted in many of the words becoming easier, but some of the words remained difficult even after instruction. These vocabulary words and the concepts they refer to may require different instructional strategies for optimum student learning.
