Enhancing English Language Learning through Teaching Aids

Abstract

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.
