In the scenario of modern language teaching, a new dimension has been added in the traditional methods and
techniques of teaching. With the development of technology, new creations and innovations are being brought up in language
teaching. Today, many language teachers are using different types of audio-visual instruments to facilitate the teaching
process. Along with text books, language teachers are likely to use related pictures, audio clips, videos, power point slides,
posters etc. in teaching language in the class. The aim of this research study is to explore the merits that the language
teachers as well as the learners get while using audio-visual aids or instruments in teaching English language. From the
study tt has been found that the use of audio-visual aids assists both the teacher and the learners in teaching and learning
language skills. This research paper provides guidelines for the learner teachers on effective use of audio-visuals aids in
language teaching. In this context, audiobooks present a unique opportunity to deal with the development of critical listening
at advanced stages. Audiobooks have recently found a wide application in education from its elementary stage to adult
learning. |
