A STUDY ON PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES OF THE USE OF VISUAL AIDS TO TEACH VOCABULARY TO ELEMENTARY STUDENTS

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the perspectives held by pre-service teachers regarding the use of visual aids in teaching vocabulary to young learners. The study involved 16 pre-service teachers who had recently completed their internships at three primary schools in Danang. The research design used a qualitative and quatitative approach, and data was collected through a questionnaire and interviews. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: general information, sources of visual aids used during the internship, and perspectives on the use of visual aids to teach vocabulary to elementary students. The interviews aimed to obtain a deeper understanding of the participants' responses and to explore their experiences and opinions further.
