ABSTRACT
The advancement
of educational system cannot only be achieved by the use of conventional media
technologies; audio visual aids are instructional materials that permeate the
teaching and learning processes. Thus, this study aims at determining the
application of audio visual aids in the teaching of English language in senior
secondary schools in Owerri North Local Government, Imo State. The study
adopted a descriptive survey design in which Four (4) research questions were
used for the study. The population of the study consists of Three hundred and
eight six (386) teachers and Four thousand, seven hundred and fifty two students (4752) students,
making the total number of Five thousand,
one hundred and thirty eight (5,138) population
in the Twenty seven (27) secondary schools in Owerri North Local
Government of Imo State. The procedure used in this study was simple random
sampling techniques where Ten (10) schools were selected out of the Twenty
seven (27) schools. Five (5) teachers and Ten (10) students were selected
randomly from each school making a total number of One hundred and fifty (150)
respondents. A questionnaire of Four (4) point scale was used as instrument for
data collection. Mean was used in answering the research questions. The result of the analysis shows that, some
schools lack audio visual aids which contribute in destabilizing the teaching
and learning process, that some teacher are incompetent in the use of audio
visual aids, also that , irregular power supply, and limited time are factors
that limit the use of audio visual aids in secondary schools.

INTRODUCTION
Background
of the study
English language is a
global prestigious system of human communication used either by spoken or
written, consisting of words in a structured and conventional way. It is the
official language in Nigeria, which used in education, government, administrative,
law, and commerce.On this account, it is necessary to ensure that, the
secondary school students are given the basic and fundamental facet of English
language. In order to achieve this; there must be instructional materials like
Audio visual aids which are permeating the educational system as tools for
effective teaching and learning. With audio visual, the communication of
information can be done in a more effective manner and it can be an effective
instructional medium for delivering information. Audio visual access to
knowledge is one of the possibilities of information and communication
technology that has tremendous impact on learning. The instructional media have
emerged in a variety of resources, and equipment, which can be used to
supplement or complement the teacher’s efforts in ensuring effective learning
by students. It is recognized that conventional media technologies can no
longer meet the needs of our teaching and learning processes; as a result they
are being replaced by audio visual technology. This technology provides a
learning environment that is self-paced, learner-controlled and individualized.
Audio visual is defined
as the combination of various digital media types such as text, images, sound
and video, into an integrated multi-sensory interactive application or
presentation to convey a message or information. In other words, audio visual
means “an individual or a small group using a computer to interact with
information that is represented in several media, by repeatedly selecting what
to see and hear next” (Agnew, Kellerman and Meyer, 2011).
Reisman (2010)
described audio visual as a ray of “computer-driven interactive communication
system, which create, store, transmit and retrieve, textual, graphic and audio
tory networks of information.
Fetterman (2016) also
viewed audio visual as those resources used for instruction that include one or
more media such as graphics, video, animation, image and sound in addition to
textual information. He identified four important characteristics of audio
visual as:
·
Audio
visual systems are integrated
·
The information content must be
represented digitally
·
The interface to the final presentation
of media.
The power of audio
visual lies in the fact that it is multi-sensory, stimulating the many senses
of the audio lance. It is also interactive, enabling the end users of the
application to control the content and flow of information. This has introduced
important changes in the educational system and impact the way we communicate
information to the learners (Neo and Neo, 2013).Ogunbote and Adesoye (2016)
expressed that audio visual technology adds new dimension to learning
experiences because concepts were easier to present and comprehend when the
words are complemented with images and animations.
The evolution of audio
visual has made it very possible for learners to become more involved in their
work. With audio visual technologies, they can create audio visual applications
as part of their project requirements. This would make them active participant
in their own learning process, instead of just being passive learners of the
educational content.
Reinsman (2014)
expressed that audio visual involves
processing, storage, generation, manipulation and retention of audio visual system, and the resources could
include text files, pictures, video, audio , databases, archives, library
catalogs, course notes, relevant links to various websites and easy access to
search engines available on the Internet (Shuell and Ferber, 2011).
Audio visual in
Education has been extremely effective in teaching individuals a wide range of
subjects. Audio visual is changing the way we communicate with each other. The
way we send and receive messages is more effectively done and better
comprehended.
While a lecture can be
extremely informative, a lecture that integrates pictures or video images can
help an individual learn and retain information much more effectively.
Statement
of the Problem
There is an urgent need
to improve the quality of education to bridge the gap between developed and
developing nations, and audio visual instruction is considered as a necessary
tool for this purpose. However, the presence of audio visual alone will not
stimulate significant changes in a school. Teachers are important ingredient in
the implementation of audio visual instruction in education.
Without the involvement
of teachers, most students may not take advantage of all the available
potential benefits of audio visual on their own. Teachers need to actively
participate in the use of audio visual facilities. They have to be trained in
the use of audio visual and in its integration in the classroom activities to
enhance thinking and creativity among students.
Purpose of the Study
The
main purpose of this study is to examine the application of audio visual aids
in the teaching of English language in Owerri North Local Government Area, Imo
State.Specifically, the objectives of this study are to:
1. Determine
the availability of audio visual aids in teaching and learning of English
language in senior secondary schools in Owerri North Local Government Area, Imo
State.
2. Determine
the pattern and frequency of use of audio visual by teachers in these selected
schools for teaching and learning.
3. Determine
the teachers’ competence in the use of audio visual aids in English language.
4. Identify
factors that limit the use of audio visual aids in teaching and learner of
English language in senior secondary schools in Owerri North Local Government
Area, Imo State.
Significance
of the study
The findings of the
study will be of much significance to students, teachers and researcher in
secondary school. This is because the report of the study will serve as a good
reference document to the group of learners when conducting a research on the
same topic.
Again, the study has
much significance on the government in Nigeria. This is so because, it will
serve as a source of information to them, that non-provision of instructional
materials to teaching provides basis for the falling standard of education in
the country.
Furthermore, the study
will be good significant to parents and the society, in account that when
conducting parents teachers meeting, such issues may be raised and this will
serve as a good reference document in providing solutions.
Scope
of study
The study focused on
the application of audio visual aids in teaching of English language in senior
secondary schools in Owerri North Local Government Area, Imo State.
Research Questions
The study is structured
to provide answers to the following research questions:
1. How
available are audio visual aids for teaching and learning of English language
in senior secondary schools in Owerri North Local Government Area.
2. What
is the pattern and frequency of use of the audio visual aids for teaching and
learning of English language?
3. How
