    (School of Education, Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2025-10-10) Mahaarachchi, P; Salgado, S; Gamage, V
    Language teaching has often been criticized as theoretical, boring, and uninteresting. To counteract this, teachers employ diverse approaches, including the use of teaching aids—tools that engage students’ auditory and visual senses. This study explores the impact of teaching aids on English language learning in secondary classrooms. It emphasizes the significance of visual aids, assesses their effectiveness, and identifies challenges in their usage. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, including a questionnaire and pre-/post-test comparisons, to demonstrate how beneficial teaching aids are for student motivation, engagement, and the lesson's expected learning outcomes.

Research shows how animated films affect vocabulary retention, relevant understanding, and student engagement. The effectiveness of using animated movies as a tool for enhancing English vocabulary among English as a Second Language (ESL) learners has garnered increasing attention in recent years. Thus, this study explores the pedagogical benefits and potential challenges of integrating animated movies into ESL vocabulary learning. Further, the research aims to provide empirical evidence on how animated movies can facilitate vocabulary acquisition, retention, and contextual understanding among ESL learners. A quantitative research approach was used to measure the vocabulary advantage supported by survey responses to measure the pre-tests and post-tests. The study focused on grade 7 students and analyzed subtitle-based learning, learning contingency terminology, mnemonic techniques, and visual effects. The results revealed a significant improvement in terminology performance after the integration of animated films, especially when aligned with the objectives of the course. Conclusions advocate including animated multimedia in ESL education while suggesting positiveimplications for teachers, course designers, and education policy makers.
