Of all the resources and techniques available to the classroom teacher of English as a second or foreign language, none are more neglected than audiovisual aids. Properly planned, constructed, and employed, such aids can help not only to improve the overall language program but also to enhance the classroom atmosphere and to ensure greater student participation. On assignments abroad in 1963 and 1965, the author spent much time in the classroom teaching English as a foreign language. This classroom experience abroad proved both educational and motivating to him. In this article, the author shares his experiences and observations. He offers ideas about using visual aids in the language classroom and includes specific suggestions for using such things as blackboards, flip charts, slip charts, mock-ups, catalogs and magazines, and language films.
