By using multiple modalities of language, pictures, sound; and videos together with the facilities of slide-projector and computer, the multimodal background provides top teaching auxiliary for teachers employing PPT to achieve most desirable effects in real class. This paper discusses the feasibility and effectiveness of PPT as teaching materials and PPT-based class construction in order to show examples to other English teachers how to conduct English teaching and promote students to take more interests in English learning. The writer gets to the conclusion that PPT, as a multimodal measure in teaching, can help the students to learn English more effectively and teachers to achieve better quality in lectures.
