Abstract

This research project explored the impact of the audio-visual method on vocabulary learning in English as a Foreign Language context. The study described how audiovisual materials are incorporated into the classroom and how these resources influence teacher assessment and students' ability to remember and apply new vocabulary. Through qualitative methodology, data was collected from teachers' interviews and student focus groups to understand their strategies for vocabulary acquisition and the role of audio-visual resources in the classroom and study habits. The findings highlighted the relationship between the audio-visual method and vocabulary learning, and the experience of using multimedia tools for vocabulary retention and comprehension.
