| Popis: | Parents, school authorities and members of the public have been concerned about the pervasive and powerful nature of the broadcast media to attract the youths, the much time they spend with the media as opposed to the little time they spend in their studies. Their concern arises from the noting that these could become powerful distractors to structured learning, despite their positive contributions to the dissemination of information. This scenario coupled with the poor speaking and writing among Nigerian youths necessitated this research efforts. Results of findings indicate that both television and radio have a positive influence on speaking skills of students, but no effect was indicated on their writing skills. The findings were interpreted in terms of what teachers could do to use the TV and radio to promote the development of spoken and written English. |
