Abstract

Since both visual and auditory media can bring both negative and positive impacts on English language teaching and learning process, an issue of the effectiveness of a song and a picture as a teaching media arises. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the Indonesian EFL teachers’ preferences in using auditory media, i.e. song, and visual media, i.e. picture. By conducting a qualitative research study, the researchers administered a questionnaire to 30 English teachers in Bandung, Indonesia. The result revealed that these teachers prefer to use the picture than using the song. Even though the picture is mostly used in the classroom, the existence of song in the classroom is more beneficial for the teacher. Reflecting up on the teachers’ responses, mostly these teachers prefer to provide the song as teaching media, while the picture is served as supportive media. Each media has a different role in teaching and learning process, whether as a teaching media or a supportive media. Further research in comparing the effectiveness of both media is necessary.
