Abstract Audiobooks have become the most popular format for reading in English and listening comprehension is one of the most important skill in the academic context. The aim of this paper is to determine the benefits of audiobooks for ESL students, if any, by reviewing the existing literature on the subject. The academic benefits of audiobooks for native English speakers determined further research on ESL students. The conclusions of various studies on ESL listeners reveal significant improvement on listening fluency, listening comprehension, critical listening, vocabulary gain, motivation, pronunciation, and literary skills. It has been proven that reading while listening brings more positive results on developing L2 skills. The frequency of listening, choosing the appropriate level of proficiency, the narration style and speed play an essential role in developing these skills. The two main platforms where to find audiobooks are LibriVox (free access) and Audible (subscription-only). The mobility and affordance of audiobooks make them an important asset inside and outside the classroom.
