Abstract
The study aimed at investigating the impact of Audiobook on enhancing the EFL reading comprehension and speaking skills of basic education students in Jordan. The participants of the study were sixteen students selected from the tenth grade basic stage students at The Martyr Pilot Muath Al-Kasasbeh in AL-karak Directorate, Jordan. The study adopted the quasi-experimental research design. So, there were two groups: an experimental group (n= 30) and a control one (n= 30). To collect data, the researcher used multiple instruments: a reading comprehension sub-skills checklist, a speaking sub-skills checklist, two pre posttests of reading comprehension and speaking, a speaking assessment rubric. The researcher taught both groups: the experimental group was taught through the audiobook while the control group was taught through the traditional way of teaching. The results of the study revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean score of the experimental group and the control group in the reading comprehension and speaking performance in favor of the experimental group. The effect size of the audiobook program was found to be high. The study recommends using the audiobook as a technique in teaching EFL skills and as a training approach in professional development programs of EFL teachers.
