THE USE OF AUDIO PLAYER AND DRAMATIC METHODS IN TEACHING: THE WORD OF FAITH EXPERIENCE

Abstract

The neglect of progressive and student friendly method of classroom teaching is the problem of this paper which highlights the significance of Audio player and dramatic methods as teaching tools. The the students interchanged their scripts with one another to crosscheck transcription error(s). Self-reading, choral reading, and echo reading techniques were employed by the researcher after the recorded story was replayed. Some dramatic methods such as role play, mantle of the expert and reflection were employed during the story dramatization/acting out by the class. The research used participatory approaches both in the decision making and on matters affecting the students (learning period). This culminated in full achievement of the objectives since the students were fully involved in the whole process of learning. It is recommended that teachers should take into consideration the multifarious composition of the students while designing or selecting instructional materials, making sure that the teaching styles are student friendly and participant oriented.
