efficiencies and drawbacks regarding audio-visual methods of teaching English and to
provide the general students opinion on the efficiency and potential disadvantages of

Conclusion
In the light of the results of the survey and poll, audio-visual methods of teaching English
proved to be an effective alternative to the traditional copybooks and other teaching

experience analysis showed that the main advantages of audio-visual are: better
comprehension of another cultures, natural language presentation and its effectiveness;
whilst main disadvantages are: qualitative audio-visual material costs, maintenance of
equipment and domestic conservative outlook towards new technologies.
Taking aforementioned data into consideration, the implementation of audio-visual
methods of teaching English will be a good investment into LASM students academic
performance and will positively impact the lyceum national and international image.
