摘要：The use of technology has had great impacts on different aspects of our lives. Educational settings, in this regard, have been no exception, and technology is changing and affecting the way students learn and present academic endeavors. Among these is the use of computer assisted presentation of materials (PowerPoint in particular) that has received special attention when it comes to presenting the results of research such as students’ theses. This study investigates the moves and steps M.A. students of TEFL use in the introduction and review of literature sections while presenting their M.A. theses through PowerPoint. The findings showed that five basic units of M.A. theses (Introduction, Literature review, Method, Results and Discussion) are present as the rhetorical structuring of PowerPoint presentations. The findings of this study can have implications for students, teachers, material developers, curriculum designers and all those who wish to benefit from the genre theory and make use of it practically.
