The design adopted for this study was the descriptive survey research design. Four research questions were raised to guide this study. The population of the study comprised of all junior secondary schools in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State. A sample size of one hundred (100) respondents was drawn using the simple random sampling technique. The data retrieved from respondents were analyzed and results after analysis were presented on tables using Percentages and Frequency. The study revealed that there was inadequate supply of audio-visual materials in junior secondary schools. It was also discovered that virtually all the schools sampled do not make use of audio-visual materials for teaching English Language in the area of study.
