This scholar's classroom experiments involved media using print media while teaching college-level English, and the students' enthusiastic response was the source of inspiration for this contribution. Here is an effort to materialize an unplanned language teaching experiment into a well-planned, program-oriented, and academically productive package. It was observed that most of the students in the test class improved their comprehension skills and vocabulary after reading newspapers, magazines, magazines, articles and other printed materials provided by the teacher. Students responded enthusiastically to the transistor brought by the teacher and to occasional visits to the TV room. It was heartening to note that all of them, regardless of the medium of instruction, showed tremendous interest in listening and watching the programs. It was observed that students who had the opportunity to listen to news on the radio and TV showed a greater awareness of the influence of their native language (MTI) in their spoken English. It was also noted that there was a deep sense of joy and satisfaction among the students because they had the opportunity to enjoy learning the English language without being aware of the grammatical rules. Everyone enjoyed learning from these sources and happily shared how they used media to learn English. It is therefore not surprising that many teachers are highly sensitive to the role of the media in an educational context. Several teachers believe that print media will also help develop students' reading and writing skills by supplementing textbooks with realia. Many language experts argue that introducing the material... in the middle of the article can become a motivational force to push the learner towards the target language.REFERENCES1.
