It tends to shed light on the impact of using power point slides and educational videos as ICT tools on meaning reception of abstract words. Two first year middle school groups participated in this study and were provided with a biographical questionnaire to investigate their qualification for participation in the study. After analysing the questionnaire, 56 out of 58 participants were chosen. Both groups were provided with two texts adapted from their course book. The control group was taught the two texts using verbal explanations only. However, with the experimental group, the first text was taught through verbal explanations as well as power point slides while the other was taught using an educational video. The results of the pre-tests showed that the two groups are homogenous whereas the outcomes of the post-tests revealed that the experimental group further outperformed the control group and the difference between the means was statistically significant.enAbstract wordOther
