THE ROLE OF VISUAL AIDS IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO 8th GRADERS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of visual aids in teaching English to 8th grade students at School No. 58 in Chust district, Namangan region. Through classroom observations, pre- and post-tests, and student questionnaires with 45 participants, the study demonstrates that the systematic integration of visual materials, including flashcards, infographics, videos, and digital presentations, significantly increases vocabulary retention, grammatical understanding, and student engagement. Results show a 34% improvement in test scores and increased motivation among students. The study results indicate that visual aids serve as important pedagogical tools for adolescent English learners in resource-limited educational settings.
