Introduction
The actuality of the theme of the course work: Teaching is an art which includes knowledge, presentation, and art of dissemination and above all every aspect of paralinguistics. Teaching demands broad knowledge of subject matter in all horizons, complete curriculum with standards, positive and caring attitude with enthusiasm, and a desire for learning and techniques of classroom management and a desire to make a difference in the lives of young people. I am sure that nobody will deny the fact that a teacher is an aid and the activities used by the teachers are materials in the classroom. The existence of materials is totally based on the creativity and innovative ways of teachers. No one can assume even a single material without a Teacher because it is a teacher who uses the materials in the classroom effectively and the effective usage of those materials is reflected by the involvement of the students. We should know the difference amongst Teaching, Aid and Material. As per www.dictionary.com,“material used by a teacher to supplement classroom instruction or to stimulate the interest of students.”i. As per Merriam Webster, “Teaching Aid is an object (such as a book, picture, or map) or device (such as a DVD or computer) used by a teacher to enhance or enliven classroom instruction and “Material denotes or consists of physical objects rather than the mind or spirit.” “…The task of the advancement of science and innovations… and comprehensive support of the creative conceptions and works”¹ requires implementing different contemporary teaching aids and materials into the school life. Today’s students and classrooms are becoming more diverse and unique each day. The emergence of information and communication technology (ICT) has made it possible for teachers and students to collaborate with each other in diverse ways.
