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)

student’s academic performance in examinations. To support the above, Faizal
(2015) in his empirical research showed that 100% of teachers use audio-visual

student’s performances. These above observatio
