Abstract: this article is devoted to study the use of audio materials in teaching English. The use of audio - materials in teaching and learning comes into the branch of knowledge known as Educational Technology. They aid learning and help in realization of educational objectives.

Keywords: audio materials, audiovisual materials.

The system of education at all level has changed, is changing and will continue to change as and when it is required. There is an agreement on all sides that the academic education is to be replaced by practical and dynamic education which is related to life. The main account in modern education is on the awaking of curiosity, the stimulation of creativity, the development of proper interests, attitudes and values and the building of essential skills such as independent study and capacity to think and judge for one. In modern education, students are encouraged to explore, to ask questions, to study creatively. In this modern education audiovisual aids are more important because in modern teaching learning process 85% of teaching is related to the audio visual aids. It is now established that audiovisual aids work as potent initiators. In the past the teacher was considered to be the sovereign as far as the teaching-learning process was concerned. The role of the students was mostly passive.

Modern trends have changed the face of educational world. Many progressive methods have come in the wake of these trends. Yet the traditional methods are not being given up altogether, they are being modified and adjusted to the changed concepts and situations.

Educational Technology can be called systematic approach to problems solving in the educational environment. Audio - visual aids are different types of tools that appeal to the sense of learning and vision and are used in classrooms for presentation of abstract information [1]. The term multimedia refers to the use of variety of other materials and techniques in combination. Each of these is chosen because of the particular contribution, it can make to total learning experience.

At present studies on teaching of English at primary level is of paramount importance. In the process of teaching and learning of English, the audio-visual technology is used by many schools, so the effectiveness of audio visual technology is unquestionable. In order to establish the effectiveness of the multimedia, the investigator has taken up a lot of experiments. The technological applications have invaded every field in industry where as the total applications have yet to be realized in the field of education. There are a number of students to prove that application of technology in education improves the achievement of

the learner. The present study also reveals that the students perform better through multimedia than the traditional approach.

The results of the study have tremendous implication in the field of education, particularly in the areas of teaching, instructional materials and curriculum construction. Visual experiences are more effective than verbal experiences. As the combination of sound and vision makes the class dramatic and imaginative, video-CDs are one of the best media for English teaching. Video-CD has the advantage of linear motion, facility of still frames, minimal loss of irrelevant information. Video CDs offer still pictures, motion, black and white colour and repetition of specific sections [2]. In English teaching, all the demonstrations are not economically efficient which could be lowered by video CDs. It has been found that video -CD gives results equivalent to or better than conventional, direct teaching especially in subjects such as science and mathematics. Television teaching raises the standard of teaching only by exposing teachers directly and indirectly to new concepts and techniques, at a pace which they are able to maintain and by tactfully offering them badly needed guidance and counsel.

The teaching of English presents numerous day to day problems for the teachers of English. Due to the stereotyped methods of teaching the subject is sometimes decreased as dull and dry. Students are made to cram and memorize concepts without understanding. To avoid or to minimize this and the teachers of English must come forward to use Educational Technology in their teaching. Video CDs help to support and supplement the teacher's work. When video are used the learners are active participants rather than passive observers. Video CDs may be provided in different topic and used by learners at their own pace till they achieve mastery. The aforesaid facts motivated the researcher to investigate the impact of video CDs in learning English among primary students and hence the study. The study indicated that the learning by video CDs is as good as that by the teacher. So a survey may be conducted to know the facility of power, CD player/computer/TV etc. Every week, two or three periods may be exclusively allotted as video classes in the primary schools for abundant video CDs are available in all the DIETs on almost all the competencies [2, P.35].

Generally, the practical work has emphasized the vital role of audio-visual equipment to teach aspects and involve pupils in the learning task by producing a favorable classroom situation. Teaching aids can be beneficial to pupils, in the educational and the psychological side. Thus, the use of this kind of materials in foreign language teaching/learning is a good means, not only to develop English aspects, but pupils also will be able to develop their receptive (listening-reading) as well as productive (speaking- writing) skills.
