This study examines the extent to which audiovisual materials are utilized in the teaching and learning of the English language in junior secondary schools in Nigeria. Audiovisual materials have the potential to enhance learning experiences by providing students with both auditory and visual representations of language, thereby improving comprehension and retention. The study employs a descriptive survey design, using questionnaires to collect data from selected junior secondary schools.
The findings reveal that while audiovisual materials are recognized for their potential to improve language learning, their actual usage is limited by factors such as lack of resources, insufficient teacher training, and inadequate financial support. Recommendations are made to address these challenges and increase the integration of audiovisual materials in classrooms to improve English language proficiency among students
