3.4. Findings and discussion Basing on the data collected from the survey questionnaire for both of the teachers and students and the informal interviews with the teachers, the results show that: Both of the teachers and students at LQD gifted high school have positive attitudes towards the use of visual aids in teaching and learning English vocabulary. The teachers at LQD gifted high school tend to use different types of visual aids that are tested. However, they still restrict themselves to some types of visual aids only. Another finding is that the ways the teachers exploit visual aids in teaching vocabulary are rather limited. As mentioned previously, the teachers mainly employ visual aids to present new words during their vocabulary teaching, whereas they rarely use visual materials to help their students practise and retain the new words. Regarding the last question aiming at finding out the possible problems faced by both the teachers and the students while teaching and learning vocabulary though visual aids. It can be concluded that despite their numerous benefits brought to the teachers’ and the students’, visual aids still bring their users some challenges. For the teachers, they faced such problem as the lack of time to prepare, the lack of time when using, difficulties in finding suitable visual materials, money consuming and difficulties in preparing as well. For the students, a number of the students still find learning vocabulary though visual aids confusing, distracting or difficult to understand, which require the teachers to re-examine if they exploit visual aids properly or not.
