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 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.
