Abstract

The present study investigates the efficacy of multimedia and visual aids (specifically, flashcards and video-based vocabulary lessons) in the context of vocabulary instruction for young learners. The investigation is informed by extant research, which has identified multimedia and visual aids as a pivotal element in language acquisition. The present study therefore explores the utilization of multimedia and visual aids in the teaching of vocabulary to young learners, and the perceptions and utilization of visual aids by teachers. The present study was conducted experimentally with 35 students from the second grade of a public primary school in Uzbekistan, and teachers working in this school were invited to respond to the survey question. The findings of the study demonstrated that the use of multimedia and visual aids can enhance the speed of language learning and motivation, in contrast to the conventional methods. The utilization of visuals and technology has increased to 3 per cent in this study. Furthermore, the study sought to ascertain the challenges faced by teachers and their preferences regarding resource materials, with the objective of ascertaining the requirements of rural schools.
