ABSTRACT
The study investigated the impact of audio-visual aids on the teaching of oral English in the University of Benin. Four research questions were raised to guide the study
The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The population of the study was a total number of all students in the. The sample size for this study is a total number of one hundred (100) students adopting the simple random sampling technique. The data retrieved from respondents were critically examined and checked for accuracy. Percentages and frequency tables were used for data analysis.
From the findings of this study, it was discovered that though students crave to learn oral English through the use of audio-visual aids, a lot of problems militate against the use of audio-visual aids of which two ones are inadequate funding and inconsistent power supply. It was also discovered that though most teachers know how to operate audio-visual, there is the lack of availability of these aids and the present ones are faulty. Therefore, it is recommended that a committee should be set up to ensure the consistent use of audio-visual aids in teaching all oral English classes; school administration and proper government authorities should ensure that adequate funds are provided for the purchase and maintenance of audio-visual aids; a seminar workshop on the use of diverse audio-visual aids should be organized frequently to get the teachers acquainted to the use of those aids; other sources of power supply should be made available to ensure the constant use of audio-visual aids. It is also recommended that teachers should recommend appropriate videos on YouTube and other online platforms to enable the students learn and practice on their own.
