-Abstract
This study investigates the impact of audiobooks on improving listening and reading fluency in Egyptian secondary EFL students. Ten participants from Insaaf Serry School were subjected to a one-group pre-test and post-test design. Pre-testing was conducted to determine their initial fluency levels. The participants were then exposed to audiobooks as a kind of treatment. A post-test was undertaken to assess the improvements in fluency. The researcher used a line graph and chart to visually depict the alteration in scores and average scores between the pre-test and post-test phases. This graphical depiction provides a lucid visualization of the transition in scores before and following the audiobook, highlighting any significant variations in performance. The results indicate a substantial statistical difference in the scores of the group during the post-test period. The results demonstrate that audiobooks had a significant contribution to the enhancement of listening and reading fluency, as indicated by the higher post-test scores in comparison to the pretest scores. The audiobooks facilitated the group's improvement in listening and reading fluency, as evidenced by their superior performance on the post-test compared to the pre-test.
