Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of visual teaching material and resources in the development of Speaking Skills in the English language in Secondary level students in India. In the study, the experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was chosen. The research consisted of 82 secondary-level students. In order to collect the data, pre-test, post-test, speech axiom, and interview forms were prepared, and a t-test was used in the analysis of the data. The interviews were conducted with open-ended questions on the research topic and results were interpreted according to their percentages and frequency values. According to the results obtained from the data, a statistically significant difference was found between the mean achievement of the students using visual teaching materials and using written-visual teaching materials. The result suggests the use of written-visual teaching materials. The data obtained from the interview also supported these results. Therefore, visual teaching materials should be chosen appropriately by language teachers and should be carried into the classroom environment. It is recommended that visual teaching materials be presented with written support, as it facilitates reminding and provides the opportunity to learn with permanent marks.
