.V vii PART A: INTRODUCTION Rationale Information technology is a major force that has brought about revolutionary changes in the development of the global, digital society Education is considered the foundation for development and the concept of IT use in education as powerful tools is strongly encouraged in Vietnam Applying IT to teaching and learning is also one of the essential tasks of the National Education Service at present Like other subjects, applying IT to teaching and learning English is a motivation for innovation process of the teaching method with the aim to highlight an efficiency of teaching and learning English is a communicative subject so teachers always have to prepare teaching aids for their lessons Without teaching aids such as pictures, posters, real things and so on, English lessons are very boring and unattractive Applying IT to teaching English not only helps teachers save their time but also makes learners access to their lessons easier However, applying IT in teaching is still a challenging new task English teachers at Thanh Hoa Medical College have coped with the challenges of technological and pedagogical shifts occurring in the teaching profession, especially in teaching and learning ESP vocabulary ESP is viewed as something hard to teach for language teachers As a teacher of English for Medical Purposes, I find it difficult to understand a lot of terminology, complicated words and how to enhance students' learning interest for each lesson It seems challenges for teachers to consider suitable methods to teach learners Facing this problem, the teachers of English of Thanh Hoa Medical College want to something to change the ways of teaching vocabulary in order to improve the students' learning effectiveness to help them succeed in their future job by using Microsoft (MS) PowerPoint It is the active display software We can use it to make lesson plans and teach vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking, reading and writing skills In this report, we only discuss applying MS PowerPoint to teach EMP vocabulary With the support of PowerPoint, teachers not only save time, but also help students understand meaning of new words more easily Lessons with 41 Underwood J (1984) Linguistics, computers and the language teacher: a communicative approach Rowley, MA: Newbury House II Websites:
