Abstract

A creative and diverse teacher is essential in EFL lessons. Teaching gets difficult when textbooks contain a lot of interactive exercises. Students are greatly inspired by the widespread use of audio, video, and technologically enhanced materials. However, a detailed assessment of the resources and instructional tools used in the classroom reveals numerous problems with EFL teaching and learning environments. This study was conducted to find out students’ perspective on the usefulness of audio-visual aids in English classes at American Language and Computer Center (ALC). Findings of the study give insights on EFL students’ approach to using technological aids.
