Abstract

Abstract: The current study aimed to investigate students’ and ‎teachers’ attitudes toward using the audiovisual chat method in ‎teaching English language skills (listening, speaking, reading, ‎and writing) and areas (grammar, vocabulary and ‎pronunciation) to 7th grade students. To achieve the goals of the ‎study, a descriptive research design was adopted using the ‎quantitative method. The data were collected through a ‎questionnaire distributed to 32 male students from Al-‎Buweideh Secondary Comprehensive School for Boys at ‎Ramtha during the second semester of the academic year 2021-‎‎2022, and another questionnaire was directed to 16 teachers ‎from Ramtha public schools. The results of the study revealed ‎that the general attitudes of students and teachers toward using ‎the audiovisual chat method are positive. In accordance with ‎these results, a set of recommendations was suggested for the ‎Ministry of Education, curriculum‏ ‏designers, and EFL ‎researchers and teachers.‎ (Keywords: Audiovisual Chat, English Language Areas, ‎English Language Skills, Students’ Attitudes, Teachers’ ‎Attitudes)‎
