ABSTRACT

The study assessed the problems and prospects of using Audio-visual aids in the teaching and learning of English Language in Senior Secondary Schools in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State. 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 Senior Secondary Schools in Egor 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. It was therefore recommended that the government should provide adequate funding for education and also that schools should employ teachers who are skilled in the use of these devices for teaching.
