USES OF AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS
IN TEACHING

ABSTRACT: To convey some concepts more effectively
and successfully to students, the teacher takes help of
some instructional aids, such aids are called audio-
visual aids. Such aids can serve many a purposes in
teaching of English. The effectiveness of teaching aid
implies its relevance to the teaching point, achievement
of some instructional objective and appropriate use.
F.W. Noel is right when he says, “Good instruction is the
foundation of any educational programme.
Audio-visual training aids are a component part of that
foundation.” Hence an English teacher should know
about the various audiovisual aids he can use
successfully in teaching English.

Audio aids are also called instructional material.
Audio literally means “hearing” and “visual” means
that which is found by seeing. So all such aids,
which try to make the knowledge clear to us
through our sense are called “Audio visual Aids” or
instructional material.
The audiovisual method was first developed in
France in the 1950s. This method is intended for
teaching everyday language at the early stage of
second/foreign language learning. It was based on
a behaviourist approach, which held that
language is acquired by habit formation.
The audiovisual method is a method which refers to
both sound and pictures which is typically in the
form of slides or video and recorded speech or

It can be called as a new trend because technology is used in this method
such as, computers, televisions, language laboratories or the others which
can support the teaching learning process in order to improve students’
skills.
The varying media technique is a strategy which alludes to both sound and
pictures which is normally as slides or video and recorded discourse or
music; all is visual introductions that are appeared by the educator to the
understudies. It can be called as another pattern since innovation is utilized
as a part of this strategy, for example, PCs, TVs, dialect labs or the others
which can bolster the instructing learning process keeping in mind the end
goal to enhance understudies' abilities.

III.PRINCIPLES FOR USE OF TEACHING AIDS:
Teaching aids should be used properly to make teaching
more effective. Teaching can became more effective if such
aids are used widely but the use of such aids cannot provide a
guarantee of good teaching. Following points are important
for a proper use of teaching aids.
(i) Teaching aids should be woven with class-room teaching
and these aids should be used only to supplement the oral
and written work being done in the class.
(ii) While making use of any teaching aid an effort be made
that the teaching aids being used in any class are in
conformity with the intellectual level of the students and is
n accordance with the previous experience of the students.
(iii) Only such aids be preferred which provide a stimulus to
the students for greater thinking and activity.
(iv)The teaching aid used should obey exact, accurate and
real as far as practicable.

According to Kinder S. James: Audio visual aids are any device which can be used to
make the learning experience more concrete, more realistic and more dynamic.
According to KP. Neeraja An audio visual aid is an instructional device in which the
message can be heard as well as seen.

I.IMPORTANCE OF AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS IN TEACHING
OF ENGLISH : English is a foreign language. Students
cannot understand it as they understand their mother-
tongue. Therefore, teaching of English becomes difficult for
us. In the teaching of language, the main purpose of the use
of audio-visual aids is to enable the teacher to make his
lessons effective and interesting. In the teaching of English
the teacher uses the direct method. Therefore, it is for the
teacher to give a clear idea to the students through audio-
visual aids. Such type of teaching make the idea permanent
in the pupils mind. Books and other printed materials have
been the basic tools of teaching for centuries, and they are
still of great importance. History suggests that the basic
conditions which strongly encouraged study and
experimentation with visual aids were excessive
verbalization in teaching.
With audio visual devices, the learning experience will be

The main purposes of teaching through audio-visual
aids are:
(i) They help to avoid excessive, empty and
meaningless verbalization in teaching English.
(ii) They provide direct sense experience to
students.
(iii) They help students to form clear and accurate
concepts in English.

(viii) They help in concentrating the attention of pupils in learning the lesson.
(ix) The teacher can follow up the principle of from concrete to abstract with the help
of audio-visual aids.

II.TYPES OF
AUDIO-
VISUAL AIDS
Visual Aids Audio Aids
Audio-
Visual Aids

Audio Aids :
The aids that involve the sense of hearing are called
Audio aids. For example :- radio, tape recorder,
gramophone etc.
Visual Aids:
The aids which use sense of vision are called Visual
aids. For example :- actual objects, models, pictures,
charts, maps, flash cards, flannel board, bulletin board,
chalkboard, overhead projector, slides etc. Out of
these black board and chalk are the commonest ones.
Audio - Visual Aids:
The aids which involve the sense of vision as well as
hearing are called Audio- Visual aids. For example :-
television, film projector, film strips etc.

(a)Black Board / Green Board: It is one of the most common visual aids
in use. A chalk board is generally installed facing the class which is
either built into the wall or fixed and framed on the wall and
provided with a ledge to keep the chalk sticks and duster.
Characteristics of a Good Chalk Board:-
(i) Its surface should be rough enough so that it is capable of holding

on the chalk board.
The size of the words written on black board should be such
that they can be seen even by the back-benchers.
There should be proper arrangement of light in the class
room so that the chalk board remains glare free.
Stand on one side of the chalk board while explaining some
points to the students.
Students may be allowed to express their ideas on chalk

Limitation Using of audio visual aids decreases teacher’s
autonomy in the classroom. For effective functioning of the
audio-visual aids the trained experts are required which is not
possible all the time

colleges do not use these aids which have great
educative value. These are not the ordinary
materials rather these are teaching materials.
Audiovisual aids give direct sensory experience to
the students.
