Background to the Study
Electronics media are considered as important instrument in modern world in facilitating quality instruction. The use of electronic media facilities has become a necessity for improving quality in teaching and learning in schools. Electronic media resources are indispensable and have been accepted as part of the contemporary world, especially in the advanced countries to the extent of given a new phase to the education system in terms of pedagogical approach (Okafor, 2009).The Federal Ministry of Education (FME, 2010) recognizes the prominent role of electronic media in the modern world and has integrated electronic media into education in Nigeria. It emphasis that at the secondary school, computer education is made a pre-vocational elective which is part of electronic media devices. English language is not only Nigeria‟s official language and medium of international interaction but also the language of instruction and reference throughout the entire educational system. Thus, competence in English language assumes great importance for students as it directly affect the level of progress attainable irrespective of aptitude in their particular fields. Egbe (2009) posit that competence in English language is an essential pre-requisite for educational and career success. As an official language in Nigeria, English is used for all government transaction both oral and written and it is one of the languages in which information is stored and retrieved from electronic media, hence it is important that the English language is well taught in schools particularly at secondary schools level. The advents of information and Communication technology in schools have resulted in the presence of electronic media in the English language classroom or 2 language laboratory. The effect of media resources can be experienced at all levels and forms of education. Educators, teachers and instructors are discovering that the instructional delivery process in using electronic media environment (classroom or English laboratory), is different from the traditional classroom; despite, the relevance of electronic media resource to instruction; teachers and resources to harness the potentials to teach English language effectively. However, there is serious concern over the level of awareness of use of electronic media devices to instruct students in English language. This is characterized by possibly socio-economic and teacher‟s ability. Availability of electronic media resources in secondary school will help to effectively teach and learn the English language (Alex, 2012).The adequacy of those resources poses another serious concern while it is true that government has not done much direct intervention to make electronic media resources widely available in schools. There is no doubt that governments have of recent signified intention to intensify the use of instructional materials in secondary schools. But evidence obtained from literature has revealed that the level of availability and use of electronic media resources for teaching and learning in Kaduna state secondary school is an issue of worried. For instance few schools have English laboratory. The few secondary schools that have the laboratory, teacher‟s skilfulness is doubtful. The level of utilization of the resources is also a serious concern to enhance student‟s performance in English language examination. Evidence abounds to justify that many students or candidates (during standardize examination) could not answer half of the questions, not because of time factor, but inability to confidently and independently attempt the English language question (Aremu, 2014). Also, students‟ performances in recent external examination (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, 2013, 2014) have shown great concern over the poor performance of students in English language. 3 Similarly students‟ negative attitude towards the subject coupled with their poor academic achievement in the subject have also warranted discussion and seeking for relevant use of modern resources in class instruction. Having this media resource in schools is one thing, using it for instruction is another thing.
