Table 3 illustrates the teachers’ ways of using visual aids to teach vocabulary and the

frequency of their using these ways to teach vocabulary. As can be seen from the table, visual

aids were mostly used for presenting vocabulary by the teachers. On contrary, half of the teacher

rarely used visual aids as cues or prompts for the students to practise and retain the new words.

This fact reveals a problem that visual aids have not been exploited to their fullest potential to aid

the students in their vocabulary learning.
