CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1. BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY.
This chapter discusses the general background of the study. It also presents
the research questions, research aim, significance of the study, and thesis
outline.
As a human being, communication is very significant for life.
People communicate with others by using language. Through language,
people will be able to express their thoughts and feelings. Since language,
communication, and life cannot be separated, we use language in our daily
life to gain and share information with others, to express feelings and also to
interact with other people. Communication through a foreign language,
especially English, causes people to learn many things. There are four
language skills related to how we can get information from others. They are
listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Speaking is one of the ways we
communicate with others. As one of the four language skills, speaking is
really important.
People express their knowledge, experience, and skill through language. It is
really acquired by people since they were born. Therefore, languages are a
tool of communication in order to send and receive information from a
person to a person. English is one of the languages which are considered as
an international language to be used by many people in the world. Besides
that, there are many countries and people in the world who learn it.
However, each country has its own reason to learn English whether as the
first, second or foreign language. Learning English as foreign language
learner needs to know all components of language skills and sub-skills.
People who have a good ability in speaking will be better in sending and
receiving information or messages from others since most of the real

communication is unspoken language. However, good speaking and
pronunciation is difficult to achieve. It needs a lot of practice and a suitable
technique, media or tools to learn the speaking and pronunciation.
Regarding the using audio-visual aids of students in learning speaking and
pronunciation at Thu Dau Mot, it needs more effort to deal with this
particular skill. The gap in the students’ background knowledge creates
difficulty in learning English. The students feel afraid of learning English
because they feel difficulty. The audio-visual aids have an important role to
learning the speaking and pronunciation of the students because there are so
many advantages, we can take by using audio-visual aids
Following previous study, Dini (2018) has carried out a research to “to
investigate the effect of Audio Visual Aids (AVAs) in students’ English
pronunciation and to find out the strengths and weaknesses of Audio Visual
Aids in teaching English pronunciation. Based on the result of this study, it
was found that in general, students have good perception toward the effect
of Audio-Visual Aids (AVAs) in students’ pronunciation. It was because
according to the information gathered from the instruments, it was found
that most of the students agree that by using Audio Visual Aids (AVAs)
could indicate improvement in their pronunciation. Besides, learning
pronunciation by using AVAs, it created a very interesting and fun
atmosphere. Also, watching videos of word stress made the students become
more confident in speaking English.”
After reviewing my previous study, I have concluded that audio-visual aids
have an important role to learning the speaking and pronunciation of the
students because there are so many advantages we can take by using audio-
visual aids and Audio-visual technology is an important part of the learning
process. That is why I chose my research topic of “A study on using audio-

CHAPTER II: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1.1 Definition and types of audio visual aids
2.1.1.1 Definition of audio visual aids
According to Dictionary.com: “Audio-visual aids are training or educational
materials directed at both the sense of hearing and the sense of sight; films,
recordings, photographs, etc., used in classroom instruction, library
collections, or the like.”
According to Burton (1960): “Audiovisual aids are sensory objectives and
images which stimulate and emphasis on the learning process”.
According to Carton V Good: “Audio visual aids are those aids which help
in completing the triangular process of learning that is motivation,
classification and stimulation.”
According to Kinder: “Audio visual aids are any device which can be used
to make the learning more effective, concrete, realistic, and dynamic.”
According to Edger Dale: “Audio visual aids are devices by which the use
of which communication of ideas between persons and groups in various
teaching and training situations is helped. These are also termed as multi-
sensory materials.”
2.1.1.2 Types of audio visual aids
Basing on the sensory experience, audio visual aids can be classified into 3
types as below (PVK Sasidhar, 2020):

1. Audio aids are instructional devices in which the message can be
heard but not seen, such as Radio, Tape-recorder, Gramophone, Audio
cassette player, Earphones, MP3 player, etc.
Definition of Audio (Wand of Knowledge Team, 2021)
Radio is an effective audio aid device that is capable of providing valuable
assistance to the teacher in the classroom by presenting useful information
and learning experiences to a large number of students.
According to R. G. Raymonds, “Radio is the most significant medium for
education. As a supplement to classroom teaching its possibilities are almost
unlimited. Its teaching possibilities are not confined to the fix or six hours of
the school day. It is available from the early morning till long after
midnight. By utilizing the rich educational and cultural offerings of the
radio, children and adults in communities, however remote, have access to
the best of the world’s stores of knowledge and art. Someday its use as an
educational instrument will be as commonplace as textbooks and
blackboards.”
Radio broadcasts are of 2 types:
- General broadcast providing general information about the events and
happenings assimilating knowledge about the world, culture and life.
- Educational broadcast specifically prepared and broadcast for serving
the cause of education and classroom in the form of radio lesson, lectures,
etc.

to the nearly obsolete type that uses a clockwork motor and acoustic horn.
Definition of Audio Cassette player
A cassette player (or cassette deck) is a machine that can play audio
cassettes. Some cassette players also can record music or other sounds on
cassette tapes. If a microphone is built-in, there is no need for a separate
microphone but in that case, the quality of sound may not be so good. Most
cassette decks were made in the late 20th century.
Definition of earphones
Small headphones in each ear also called "ear-buds," earphones stay put by
resting inside the ear or by being inserted slightly into the ear canal or with
hooks that wrap around the ear. Another variation is an earphone that clips
onto the earlobe. Contrast with over-the-ear headphones.

2. Visual aids are an instructional device (such as books, pictures,
posters, flashcards, maps, or models) that appeals chiefly to vision;
especially, an educational motion picture or filmstrip.
Definition of pictures
Picture is a visual presentation of humans, places, or things. The use of
pictures is more effective than the use of words because they are easier to
remember and retell. Children can see pictures, recall and retell or describe a
human, a place, a thing or a specific situation that is shown in the picture.
Definition of posters
Posters are visual aids that are well suited to use as independent sources of
information or as support for other presentation formats. By design, the
message displayed is brief, constant, and interactive with the viewer.
Guidelines for developing a poster include careful delineation of content,
knowledge of audience needs, and the environment or setting for the poster.
The application of basic design elements, such as simplicity of composition,
attractive color combinations, and title spacing, results in a presentation
mode that is both attracting and lingering.
Definition of flashcards
Flashcards are a study or memorization tool, with information on one or
both sides. Using flashcards is a versatile learning strategy that benefits
students of all ages.
They can be different colors, or kept simple. When studying, students may
sometimes choose to have different colored flashcards for different topics or
subject areas so they’re easy to keep tidy, or to mix up when revising with
interleaving strategies.

Flashcards can be especially useful for students who respond to learning
through visual, tactile or kinaesthetic means. Writing then recalling
information onto flashcards is a simple revision exercise that everyone can
benefit from. There are plenty of valuable ways that flashcards can be used
to enhance learning in the classroom.
Definition of Maps
Visual mapping is the graphical organization and presentation
of knowledge. It includes concept maps, mind maps, conceptual diagrams,
and visual metaphors. Visual mapping can be done using low tech paper and
pens or high tech using real-time digital tools.
Definition of models
Models are representation of an idea, object, event, process or system.
Model is a very important teaching aid for science and geography teaching.
Model has a three-dimensional effect on the mind of the students. They are
the replica of the real subject matter.
3. Audio-visual aids are the aids in which both eyes and ears are used
together such as LCD projector, television, computer, virtual classroom,
multimedia, films, etc.
Definition of LCD projector
An LCD projector is a type of video projector for displaying videos, images
or computer data on a screen or other flat surface. It is a modern equivalent
of the slide projector or overhead projector. When connected to the
computer it will enable to project computer generated images onto a display
screen.

Definition of television
Television, sometimes shortened to TV or telly, is a telecommunication
medium used for transmitting moving images in black-and-white or in color,
and in two or three dimensions and sound. The term can refer to a television
set, a television show, or the medium of television transmission. Television
is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment, news, and sports.
Definition of computer
Computer assisted learning (CAL) includes all aspects of using computers
as an aid to learning. Substantial research over the past 25 years provides
growing evidence that students can learn faster and better when assisted by a
computer. Computer assisted learning is divided into two major categories.
Definition of virtual classroom
A virtual classroom is a video conferencing tool where instructors and
participants engage with each other and with the learning material. The
difference with other video conferencing tools is that virtual
classrooms offer an added set of features that are essential to a learning
environment.
Definition of Multimedia
Multimedia combines five basic types of media into the learning
environment: text, video, sound, graphics and animation, thus providing a
powerful new tool for education.
Definition of film
A film, also called a movie, motion picture or moving picture, is a work of
visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas,

stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of
moving images. These images are generally accompanied by sound, and
more rarely, other sensory stimulations. The word "cinema", short for
cinematography, is often used to refer to filmmaking and the film industry,
and to the art form that is the result of it.
Film assists the learners’ comprehension by enabling them to listen to
language exchanges and see such visual supports as facial expressions and
gestures simultaneously. These visual clues support the verbal message and
provide a focus of attention.
2.2. SELECTION AND USE OF AUDIO VISUAL AIDS
Audio visual aids are very useful educational materials. They should be used
properly to make the learning process more effective. The following points
are important in choosing the proper use of audio visual aids:
1) Aids must be placed or held where all can see.
2) Audio visual aids should be used to achieve certain objectives.
3) Audio visual aids must be used skillfully.
4) Technical quality of the aid should be good enough.
5) Use a variety of aids.
6) Choose the suitable aid for the suitable activity.
7) The frequency of using audio-visual aids should be taken into
consideration.

2.3.1 Advantages
Using Audio visual aids in learning speaking and pronunciation has many
advantages for learners. Harmer (2001, p. 282) states that “audio visual aids
can add a special, extra dimension to the learning experience” as follows:
Seeing language in use: Through audio visual aids, the students have a
chance to see and hear the language, they can easily interrupt, interact with
the videos, the films, the computers,… to understand the words clearly as
well as know how the native speaker use their language. Therefore, the
learners can improve and communicate with other people correctly.
Cross-cultural Awareness: Applying audio visual aids in learning English
speaking and pronunciation is very essential because it can provide the
student the opportunity to see the cultural aspect of the language of the
English speaker. The learners can see many different things such as about
foods, festivals, customs and habits, etc. so that they can improve their
speaking skill, pronunciation as well as widen their knowledge.
The power of Creation: When the students use the audio visual aids, they
can generate some fresh ideas and create some works with these aids. It will
help them to be confident and fluent when communicating with each other
and with foreigners.
Motivation: While using traditional verbal instruction can be boring and
make the students lack of concentration, applying suitable audio visual aids
with the topics can make the students pay more attention when learning.
Besides it can motivate the students to create and provide the opportunities
to themselves and to other learners, they will be more curious and interested
in learning and expanding the subjects.

Distance education (Shaswati, 2018): During the Covid-19 pandemic, the
students cannot take the offline class as before, audio visual aids have
played an important role in learning and teaching because they can ensure
the learning process continues as offline study.
Besides, there are more and more people who want to learn English and
other foreign languages through online classes and audio visual aids can
meet this demand.
2.3.2 Disadvantages
Although audio visual aid are essential aids in English learning today, there
are some disadvantages which happen in using process such as:
Technical problems: There are some audio visual aids that require
specialized technical support when problems happen and it will lead to the
delay in learning (Marie Liberty, n.d.).
Time consuming: The well-organized audio visual presentations with our
own slides and videos can take a considerable amount of time to prepare, to
collect the information (Marie Liberty, n.d.).
Student Distractions: Using audio visual aids throughout the entire
presentation can cause distraction versus during key points. The unsuitable
color, light, effects, pictures from the projector can draw attention away
from the speaker. Moreover, the slides with too much information can also
be distracting because the students need to try to read and/or take notes to
remember while the speaker moves on to another subject. (Marie Liberty,
n.d.)
2.4. PREVIOUS STUDIES ON USING AUDIO VISUAL AIDS IN
LEARNING SPEAKING AND PRONUNCIATION

During learning English speaking and pronunciation process, because
English is not the mother-tongue language of the students, audio visual aids
are very useful aids to improve their English speaking skills and
pronunciation.
According to Tubagus (2018), “A quasi-experimental with non-equivalent
control group design has been applied to find out the significant effect of
audio visual media and vocabulary mastery towards the students’ learning
achievement”. After the research was conducted, the researcher found that
“AVM can be used in order to improve the speaking ability of students. The
improvement can be seen from the means of the pre-test and post-test
scores. The mean of the pre-test score was 58 and the mean of the post-test
score was 67. The gain from the pre-test to the post-test was 9 points.
Subsequently, the researcher analyzed the results and found where the
improvement was in speaking. This can be seen from the mean scores for
each aspect. For pronunciation, the score increased from 12 in the pre-test to
16 post-test.”
According to Nuraeni (2018), quantitative research using the quasi-
experimental method with two groups‟ pretest and post-test design has been
conducted. There were 2 groups involved in this experiment, an
experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received
treatment by using some techniques of video and music video by having
students retell the story from the video, while the control group experienced
non-video material. The conclusion drawn is that “the use of audio visual
material is more effective in enhancing speaking skills than the use of group
discussions. The improvement of students‟ speaking skills after treatment in

experimental group is greater than in control group (X1posttest =58.33>
X2posttest = 45.09). It also can be seen through the result of the table paired
sample in post-test (.00 < .05). It means that there was a significant
difference between the experimental and control groups in post-test. This
output indicates that the use of audio visual material gives a significantly
greater contribution than the use of non-audio-visual material. It is
positively stated that the use of audio visual material improves students’
speaking skills and is more productively better than the use of non-audio-
visual material.”
Dini (2018) has carried out a research “to investigate the effect of Audio
Visual Aids (AVAs) in students’ English pronunciation and to find out the
strengths and weaknesses of Audio Visual Aids in teaching English
pronunciation. Based on the result of this study, it was found that in general,
students have good perception toward the effect of Audio Visual Aids
(AVAs) in students’ pronunciation. It was because according to the
information gathered from the instruments, it was found that most of the
students agree that by using Audio Visual Aids (AVAs) could indicate
improvement in their pronunciation. Besides, learning pronunciation by
using AVAs, it created a very interesting and fun atmosphere. Also,
watching videos of word stress made the students become more confident in
speaking English.”
Mohammed H., Mohammad A. and Muthmainnah (2021) conducted a study
on “The Impact of Audio-Visual Aids in Learning English among MSU
Third-Year Students”. The study included both quantitative and qualitative
methods. “To begin, a questionnaire is defined as a series of questions with
multiple-choice responses. The goal is to find out what people think about
the study. The questionnaire was created by performing surveys on prior

research, internet reads, and information sharing from previous researchers.
The survey was carried out among TESL Bachelor students. The survey
Using Multimedia to Motivate Students in EFL Classrooms was created by
Bouzar Mohammed Amine1, University of Béchar Cambridge. These
techniques helped modify and revise the questionnaire. Those polls fit into a
certain category. Finally, an interview is described as seeing someone face
to face and asking them a purposeful question. As a consequence, it is
possible to acquire their point of view and exchange knowledge about a
subject. Each of the 15 students will be asked five interview questions.
These difficulties, which are based on multimodal perception, need a clear
explanation.”
“This study found that integrating technology in the classroom may be a
very motivating element for BTESL students at MSU. Technology has the
potential to improve education in several ways. Most importantly, the
inclusion of technology has the potential to increase student motivation. All
students attend the class regularly since the course appears to be engaging,
as opposed to the typical classroom atmosphere, which appears to be
uninteresting and for which the students lack the required abilities to
succeed. PowerPoint presentations, training videos, and audio files are
among the tools used in the course to improve knowledge and
understanding. The youngsters were confident in their skills to finish their
projects since they were working with technology. Students delivered their
exposés in class using PowerPoint presentations and Internet-downloaded
videos. The students were ecstatic at the idea of putting their abilities to the
test, and they found the task to be both hard and fascinating.
BTESL students want their teachers to use technology in the classroom as
well. Most students who use technology become more motivated, and they

recognize that a computer-connected projector is the most crucial piece of
classroom equipment. This study also discovered that a variety of technical
gadgets, including computers, projectors, video, films, and multimedia,
appeared to influence foreign language acquisition. According to student
replies, there is a substantial link between language learning motivating
factors and technology use.
CHAPTER III: METHODOLOGY
This section will describe clearly the research methodology used in the
study including research method, the participants, the data collection
instrument.
Mixed methodology including both qualitative and quantitative research
methods, and a Quasi-experiment, are used to collect the data in this study.
Through using the mixed methodology, the researcher can reduce the
limitation of individual method and maximize the detailed and
comprehensive view of what is being conducted in the current research
(Creswell, 2003; Johnson & Christensen, 2004).
In particular, the pretest-posttest design as Quasi-experiment is used to
analyze and compare results to see levels of changes and improvement after
experimental manipulation. Additionally, the quantitative data collected by
using questionnaire and interview will explore students’ perceptions towards
using PR checklists as activities in writing class.
3.1. THE RESEARCH METHOD
25. Dịch vụ viết thuê đề tài – KB Zalo/Tele 0917.193.864 – luanvantrust.com
27
Kham thảo miễn phí – Kết bạn Zalo/Tele mình 0917.193.864
In this study, the researcher uses quantitative research and gets the data from
questionnaires. The researcher will send the questionnaires to the
participants which collect information about using audio visual aid in
learning speaking and pronunciation at Thu Dau Mot University to the
second-year students by Google Forms. Through the information collected,
the conclusion and some suggestions will be presented to improve more in
learning speaking and pronunciation by using audio visual aids.
3.2. THE PARTICIPANTS
The number of participants is 55 students who are in the second-year study
of Foreign Language Faculty. These students are expected to have enough
experience in learning speaking and pronunciation by using audio visual
aids.
The participants are from two classes where the researcher is the writing
teacher. Therefore, the time progress and the syllabus used for two groups
are corresponding so as to minimize the extrinsic factors influencing the
results of the study. The number of sixty participants here is anticipated. The
real number can be a bit lower or higher than expectation depending on the
number of students in each class.
The participants are divided into control group who do not engage in writing
activities with PR checklists and experimental group who do. Selecting and
appointing two groups is random.

In this study, the writer has studied and searched documents from various
sources such as books in the library of Thu Dau Mot University, related
studies and eBook in the Internet such as from Researchgate, English
Journal, etc.
3.3.2. Questionnaires
The questionnaires are made as online questionnaires by Google Forms and
shared to the participants. The participants joining in the survey will select
the most appropriate answers and mark as instruction.
It is observed that questionnaire is one of the most often used tools which
are employed to collect data. In this study, the questionnaire is used to
collect participants’ opinions on using PR checklists because the
questionnaire allows grading and analyzing data to be objective (Oxford,
1990), and a great amount of information can be collected in short time
(Dörnyei, 2003). They are designed based on the aims of the research,
relevant theories on using PR checklists and long process of observation by
the researcher.
The questionnaire of this study is divided into two sections. The first section
includes personal information, namely age, gender and majors. The second
section consists of 16 items which are all closed responses. This means that
the participants are required to put a tick in the offered choice. The items are
designed in relation to four main clusters including perceptions of learners
towards (1) the ease of applying the method, (2) the effectiveness in
improving writing ability, (3) the effectiveness in motivating learners, and
(4) the difficulties in using. The questionnaire is then rated through five-
point Likert scale (1- strongly agree, 2- disagree, 3- neutral, 4- agree, and 5-
strongly agree). The participants are guided to tick () the scale in the

provided column which is corresponding to their opinions. The
questionnaire is presented in Vietnamese to make ease for the participants.
The questionnaire is written in both English and Vietnamese. There are 15
closed questions and no open questions in the questionnaire. The content of
the questionnaire includes 4 main sections: The aids in each classification
that are usually used in learning (Question 1-3); The opinions on the
advantages and disadvantages in using audio visual aids (Question 4-12);
General attitude of the students on using audio visual aids in learning
speaking and pronunciation at Thu Dau Mot university (Question 13); And
aspects that need improvement in using audio visual aid to learn speaking
and pronunciation (Question 14-15).
3.4. PROCEDURES
Checklists are applied in writing classes in accordance with the following
steps
Step 1: Teacher exchanges written productions (essays) among students
Step 2: Teacher delivers checklist to students and explain openly to make
sure that everyone understands each item on the checklist. Questions are
all addressed at this stage.
Step 3: Teacher has students read their peer’s essay within 5 minutes
Step 4: Teacher reads out loud individual criterion on the checklist and
asks students to put tick on corresponding column based on what they
have just read and their opinion.
3.5. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
All the participants are voluntary to take part in this study. They are fully
informed about the purposes and steps of the research. The process of

good presentation and it leads to spending more time to finish.

light and effect are not suitable: The agreement ratio of this statement was
58%, a very significant rate, it can be concluded that color, picture, light,
and effect have a great influence on the effectiveness and student
concentration of the student while learning speaking and pronunciation with
audio visual aids.

Based on the survey result of Question No. 14, it can be concluded that the
quality and quantity of the audiovisual aids at Thu Dau Mot University are
quite sufficient for teaching and learning with 76%. However, the quality of
the audio-visual aids also needs to be improved for all 3 factors sound,
picture, and connection.
5.2. Discussion
Basing on the results of the study, it can be concluded that audio visual aids
play a very important role in learning speaking and pronunciation. In reality,
the students will combine 2 or more audio visual aids to reach their learning
objectives. This combination can overcome weaknesses and complement
each other's strengths.
In general, the quality and quantity of the audio-visual aids at Thu Dau Mot
University are sufficient for teaching and learning. But the quality is
required to improve all of the 3 factors: sound, picture, and connection so
that it can bring the best communication for the students.
Most of the students (82%) admit that using audio visual aids when learning
speaking and pronunciation can help them to understand the words clearly
and communicate correctly. There is no disagreement in this case. The
audio-visual aids can increase the students’ motivation by assisting the
students to understand the material clearly, make the learning process
interesting, and motivate them to involve actively in learning process. The
results of the study are suitable with the previous studies mentioned in the
literature review.
