Abstract :

Persuading the learners and motivating them to enhance their productivity in learning process will be a vital issue for any instructor. Many people may be found around the world that are ready to share their memories on learning improvement or failure. In other words, all the learners have generally observed their learning trend and most of them have also established an association between their learning process and their instructors’ approach in motivation. In order to make the learning language more efficient, it should be focused on the objectives that motivate the learners in the best way such as audio visual facilities. This is due to the fact that motivation plays a crucial role in learning process. Therefore, motivation encourages the learners to learn the language more comprehensively and intelligibly. This paper is a preliminary attempt to discuss the audiovisual facilities in learning process and assist the learners to become perfectly motivated and proceed fruitfully.
