Abstract

The topic of research was the influence of modern instructional materials in teaching and learning of the English language in junior Secondary schools in Ebongi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. Three research questions were constructed to guide the study. Literature was reviewed under four major sub-headings, namely; conceptual framework, theoretical framework, review of empirical studies, and summary of literature review. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The population of the study was (326) of the junior principals and the teachers in junior secondary schools. The sample size was (150) respondents randomly selected from the population. The questionnaire was validated by two experts in Measurement and Evaluated and my project supervisor. To ensure the reliability of the items, the questionnaire was tested, and re-tested to the same respondents within the interval of two weeks. The instrument for data collection was four points scale questionnaire. The data collected was analysed using simple percentage. The findings of the study was that modern instructional materials influence the junior secondary school students by motivating their interest to learn, increasing the students’ regularity in classroom, and encourages learners’ active participation in teaching and learning situation. It was also found that why teachers may not use modern instructional materials was that they lack it in junior secondary schools, they also lack technical know-how. Unsteady power supply and high cost of fuel price may also affects the use of modern materials in teaching English. It was also found, that through government provision, societal donations, and individuals or parental provision are some of the possible ways in which junior secondary schools may acquire modern instructional materials. Based on the findings, recommendations was made which include: that government should organize workshops and seminars to train the teachers on how to use modern instructional materials, government, parents and the society where schools are established should try their possible best to make sure that they provide modern instructional materials for the junior secondary schools.
