Abstract: This cross-sectional study assessed the availability and use of instructional aids in the teaching and learning of Ghanaian languages in Senior High Schools in the Mfantsiman Municipality of Central Region, Ghana. Through a proportionate stratified sampling method, 210 respondents were selected from four public Senior High Schools located in the Mfantsiman Municipality of the Central Region. The respondents included 201 students and 9 instructors. The primary data collection tool used for data gathering was a self-developed questionnaire. Following a descriptive analysis of the quantitative data, it was discovered that visual aids are the most readily available and frequently used instructional aids for the teaching of Ghanaian languages in the selected Senior High Schools within the Mfantsipim Municipality. It was also revealed that instructors of Ghanaian languages seldom utilized audio and audio-visual aids to support their classroom instruction and the reason for this mishap was the insufficiency of such forms of instructional aids. In light of these findings, the study recommended that Ghanaian language instructors, with the assistance of the Ghana Education Service, be equipped with the necessary instructional tools in order to make the teaching and learning of Ghanaian languages an enjoyable experience for students.
