Abstract
This study investigated the effect of Audio-Instructions on Learning Performance in English
Language among Junior Secondary School Students in Zaria Education Zone. There is need for
Nigerians, teachers and students alike, to put in more efforts in the teaching and learning of
English Language, as it is the language of instruction, if the country aims at attaining the 2020
development vision. It is therefore necessary to emphasize the need to improve on the teaching
and learning of the subject. To achieve the objectives of this study, four research questions and
four null hypotheses were formulated to guide the conduct of the study. The data collection was
by means of per-test and post-test given to students of four Public Junior Secondary Schools in
Zaria Education Zone. Teachers and students from two schools were exposed to the treatment of
Audio-Instructions on Learning Performance in English Language and the other two schools
were not exposed to the treatment. Statistical analyses was carried out with t-test and analysis of
variance and the finding shows that the treatment was effective in the sense that students who
were exposed to the treatment performed better than those that were not exposed to treatment.

students whose teachers of the same tribe with them and of those whose teachers are not of the
same tribe with them. It also shows difference in performance of students based on their
