The study examines the performance of 60 Egyptian ESP students in listening comprehension based on two different types of listening materials, namely aural and audiovisual listening materials. It also discusses how Egyptian ESP students can vary in their perception of aural and audiovisual listening materials. Data were collected by using two sets of international listening tests as pre and post tests, namely Allan's Oxford (2004) placement test and Cambridge listening test (2015). Findings indicate a variance in the performance of participants who were taught listening by using audiovisual materials from those who were taught listening by only using aural materials. Participants were also found to vary in their perception of both types of listening materials. The study draws implications for the teaching of listening as well
