Résumé :	We attempt to examine the effects of audio-visual aids in enhancing the speaking and the listening skills of EFL learners. In order to answer this question the researcher adopts for a descriptive method that is based on four tools of research: a questionnaire, a classroom observation, listening and speaking tests. The questionnaire is submitted to a representative sample of first year students of English at Mentouri University Constantine 1. The questionnaire focuses on investigating the students‟ attitudes towards the use of audio-visual aids. In addition, the classroom observation is established to attain more exact and precise data about the students‟ awareness and attitudes towards the language and the use of audiovisual aids, plus an observation of their speaking and listening levels. The listening test was set in order to examine the learners‟ listening skill and to check whether they are able to understand the natives‟ different accents, or not. Likewise, the speaking test, which was taken in the form of a debate, exhibited the learners‟ speaking competences and their vocabulary repertoire. The present research work is grounded on the hypothesis that as much as students are exposed to audio-visual aids, their listening and speaking skills will be enhanced. The results of the present study indicate that freshmen LMD students of English at Mentouri University Constantine 1 are aware about the importance of the audio-visual aids and show positive attitudes towards their use and implementation in the curriculum designed to teach oral expression. However, the learners faced many linguistic and paralinguistic challenges. In addition to that, the learners need to concentrate and practice more in order to improve their speaking and listening performances. All in all, the learners have a good level in English regardless of the challenges they have encountered. The findings of this study confirm our research hypothesis which emphasizes the positive effects of utilizing the audio-visual materials in teaching both the speaking and listening skills. By identifying the main areas of IV IV difficulties, teachers as well as learners will be able to design and chose the most appropriate tools to teach the language skills.
