What is it about?
ClassPoint, an interactive presentation tool, was integrated into a Year 1 university-level English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course in Hong Kong to foster real-time participation, boost critical engagement, and hone students' academic literacies during face-to-face classes. Students were asked to use their own devices to interact directly with PowerPoint slides, responding to quiz questions, submitting digital annotations, contributing to live word clouds, and participating in paraphrasing exercises. In this article, we explain the pedagogical rationale for adopting ClassPoint and the pedagogical implications of doing so. We aim to assist L2 teachers in leveraging in-class technology to enhance student engagement, provide immediate feedback, and create a more dynamic and responsive language learning environment.
