Pronunciation is one of the most important elements in teaching and learning a foreign language.
Accordingly, the current study seeks to gather the views of EFL teachers and learners towards the
implementation of audio-visual aids to enhance learners’ pronunciation. Moreover, it targets the good
assessment of learners to the effectiveness of different audio-visual aids in teaching and learning the
various aspect of pronunciation in EFL classrooms at Larbi Tebessi University during the academic year

in EFL learning classrooms for improving learners’ English pronunciation. Additionally, it is assumed
that EFL learners also view the use of audio-visual aids as effective to enhance their pronunciation.
Furthermore, it is assumed that learners assess the effectiveness of using videos, pictures and audio
tapes in teaching and learning various aspects of pronunciation as a good tool. To this enda descriptive
research design has been used to check the assumptions and to answer the proposed research questions.
