Abstract: Learning methods are changing dramatically as a result of the rapid
advancement of technology. As digital technologies, the internet, and mobile
applications have grown in popularity, alternative learning tools such as audiobooks
have become more popular. Research has shown that using audio materials can
facilitate better language learning outcomes, and this paper examines the role of
audiobooks in language acquisition, their historical development, and their impact on
contemporary learning approaches. Audiobooks are particularly effective in language
learning because they improve pronunciation, vocabulary acquisition, and listening
comprehension skills.
