1.1 Background to the Study

Audio Visuals can be seen as specialist electronic materials that

distributes high quality audio and visual sounds/videos. Simply means

possessing both sound and visual component, such as slide-tape presentations,

films, television programmes, church services and live theatre productions.

Business presentations are also often audio visuals. Computer-based audio

visual equipment are often used in education, with many schools and

universities, installing projection equipment and using interactive whiteboard

technology (Barman and Charles 2014). The New York City Department of

Education (2017), defines audio-visual materials as instructional materials such

as Video tapes, Laser discs, Audio cassettes, Record/Compact Discs and other

Multi-media type instructional materials that have met the guidelines

established by the Office of the Chancellor, and are approved for purchase by

the New York City Public Schools. On their part, Business Dictionary (2015)

views Audio-Visuals as non-paper educational or promotional, such as

cassettes, CDs, DVDs, video tapes and Laser Discs. Audio-visual aids are

used devices or audio-visual aids in teaching and learning process. Audio-visual

devices, generally, is an incentive introduced into the method of teaching for the

experiencing. Audio-visual aids are produced, distributed and used as planned

components of educational programmers which helps in the process of learning.

From the foregoing, one can see that audio-visual aids are materials and

instruments that stimulate learner's, senses, especially the senses of hearing and

seeing; and improved students’ comprehension. According to Academia.com

(2014), in their empirical findings; audio-visual aids are used in some private

student’s academic performance in examinations. To support the above, Faizal

(2015) in his empirical research showed that 100% of teachers use audio-visual

aids during classroom teaching, in private schools in Pakistan; and this enhances

student’s performances. These above observatio
