Abstract
This paper has a twofold meaning, on one hand to emphasize the advantages brought by the using of Power Point presentations during English classes and on the other hand to raise the awareness upon the fact teaching based on slides does not always increase effective learning during English classes. Teaching in „the old school way” with students just sitting around and doing grammar exercises can be replaced by learning activities which are focused on „getting out” students of their shells. As with any technology, the way power Point is used will determine its pedagogical effectiveness
