Learning language is one of the complex process for a beginner especially for foreign language as English. In different era, it would be different the way how to teach a language which including methods and techniques are entered in the field of education and teacher use different kind of help to make effective teaching. For instance, in present day, this is a modern era so people are aware with the name of technology. Therefore teachers need relevant technologies to the teaching and learning situation. The teachers can not avoid that if technology is a great help in stimulating and facilitating the learning of a foreign language such as audio visual media. Video material is one of the most appreciated materials applied to language learning and teaching. A recent survey by Canning-Wilson (2000) reveals that the students like learning language through the use of video, which is often used to mean quite different things in language teaching. It mean to lead students in class face with a real world that can be happened in practically.
Definitely there is advantages and dis advantages. The advantages of using audio visual media are provides authentic language input. Its mean the videos give the students a real imagination such as the learners contain with certain focuses in the video like facial expressions, dress, gesture, posture and others details in practical learning. Then to interpret attitude, its mean the learners try to think about the new knowledge that they acquire including messages from the video that they watch and It may be enjoyable for the learners to have something different for language learning. Maybe they only learn about culture of a country through the book, journal or kind of written. But through the videos they can see a real thing which is will have any own perspective from them.
The disadvantages from audio visual media are cost, may be the media is expensive to purchase. Then, inconvenience, when teaching -learning is ongoing may be will there some noises of sound from the videos which is it can disturb other classes. And fear of technology, this might be cause of rejection of the progress from the times .Another important issue in this case is that the teacher should be well-trained on using and exploiting the video. Otherwise, it becomes boring and purposeless for students.
Finally, not all of methods and techniques for language teaching is perfect for teaching –learning process. Cause all of that there is advantages and disadvantages so there is no relevant technique can be used to achieve purpose study. Actually a teacher has an important role which is mastering on technology. Because if the teacher can not use the technology such as notebook very well, it will make the class being monotonous.
