The effects of using PowerPoint presentations, during lectures, on EFL students' motivation and attitudes : Case study : Master 1 AL & ELT University of Bejaia

Abstract

In the recent years, the use of PowerPoint presentations in classroom instruction has significantly increased especially at tertiary level. In this regard, the aim of our study is to investigate whether using PowerPoint presentations in EFL lectures enhances both the EFL lectures at the University of Bejaia, and the EFL students' motivation and attitudes, or not. In order to answer the research questions raised in this study and achieve the objectives, we conducted a survey. The main instruments used were a questionnaire designed for Master 1 AL & ELT students, and an interview addressed to their teachers.
