Abstract:
Pronunciation; as a way of how sounds are used to convey a certain meaning, and audiobooks as
talking books recorded by authors; are two concepts that can work together to develop methods
of teaching English. This study was conducted to examine the effect of listening to audiobooks
on EFL students’ pronunciation at the level of some phonemes. To achieve this aim, an
experimental design was adopted. Participants were eighteen third year students of English at
Mohammed Seddik Ben Yahia University- Jijel, assigned to two groups: an experimental group
that received the treatment (listening to audiobooks), and a control group that did not.
Participants’ pronunciation was assessed prior to and after the treatment. It was hypothesized that
listening to audiobooks will result in an improvement in students’ pronunciation. The results
demonstrated that the experimental group scores improved significantly after the treatment
compared with those of the control group
