Audio-aids can be defined as models and devices that can be heard and give an image of

something, somebody and some situations. They include recorded materials, radios, cassette
players, cassettes and the like which are relatively cheap and available and which the language
teacher with a little training can use in the L2 class so as to make the teaching methods,
techniques and materials considerably effective and interesting, and to help the learner have
maximum benefit (Akanbi 1988). Unlike most other types of aids and means used in the language
class, on the one hand, this type of aid enables the teacher to modify the teaching method and
technique, and change the classroom situation quickly and immediately as necessary; and on the
other, it attracts the learner’s attention, stirs his/her imagination, reduces his/her exhaustion,
motivates him/her to be engaged in the learning process, and thus helps him/her to acquire
expected proficiency in the language skills especially listening and speaking.

Audio aids, as the words indicate, are things that you can listen to or hear (sound) that help (or
aid) you in learning. For example, if you are studying a language, listening to a song in that
language is an audio (or sound) aiding/helping you.

In classrooms, teachers use things that produce sounds, music, songs, conversations,
documentaries, etc. to make learning easier.
Furthermore, an audio aid (hearing aid) can also be a device that helps you hear better. In other
words, the device aids your auditory system (your sense of sound) receive the sound.

Audio aids can be things that are used that use the senses of the body. They can be used for
hearing, sight, smell, touch, and taste. Videos are often one of the biggest audio aids that are
used.
