Abstract This article provides a brief account of the rise of audiobooks, from the early uses of audiobooks to make books available to the visually impaired, to the rise of Audible and the recent surge in audiobooks. It shows how the strong growth of audiobook output and sales since 2011 has been linked to a clear shift in formats: whereas CDs had been the dominant medium for audiobooks between 2003 and 2010, digital downloads became increasingly important from 2011 onwards. By 2017, digital downloads accounted for nearly 90 per cent of audiobook sales.

The development of digital technologies creates the conditions for a new stage in the development and dissemination of audio culture. Radio plays have been replaced by audiobooks, audio podcasts, and audio series. The book market is experiencing an "audio explosion". There is a steady growth of interest in audiobooks, which compete with musical content. The authors of the article turn to the study of the current state of the culture of the "audible word". This article examines the audiobook reading of student readers, who were socialized under the conditions of the large-scale spread of digital technologies. The aim of the research: to consider audioreading in the context of leisure and educational practices of young people. The study is based on theoretical approaches that consider the phenomenon of audio consumption in modern media (V.Y. Bal', M.Y. Gudova, J.P. Melentieva, V. Erlmann, W. Hagen, A. Kassabian, J.F. Lehmann). The study examined students' perceptions of audiobook reading, its place in leisure and educational practices. The authors conducted a sociological study (December 2020) with the participation of 85 students in order to identify the perceptions of audiobook reading. Qualitative methodology of analysis of answers to open-ended questions was used for the study. The design questionnaire included questions on preferred types of reading, use of audiobook reading in educational and leisure practices, reasons for interest in audiobook reading and possibilities of audiobook reading as a type of educational content. The study identified students' preferences in the choice of book format (paper, electronic, audiobooks), students' ideas about the reasons for wide distribution of audiobooks, advantages and limitations of audiobooks, convenient contexts for daily life, practices of using audiobooks in educational and leisure activities. The authors consider the potential of audiobooks in the organization of educational and leisure activities of students.

Nowadays, in the new media environment generated by science and technology such as digital technology, Internet technology, and mobile communication technology, the way people acquire information and knowledge presents diversified characteristics, and people's reading methods also have more choices. Sound, which serves as one of the most vital parts of the reading industry, also has been making progress in its development. And the behavior of listening to audiobooks has been fulfilled in people’s lives. Although the previous related research does have essential contributions to studying the audiobook industry, they just introduce the audiobook market and some of the uses appear in people’s lives. This literature does not address what interests people about audiobooks, and it does not fully address what makes audiobooks appealing. In this research, the authors want to explore the factors that influence audiobooks so that the authors can figure out how can the authors make audiobooks better for the listeners. The research topic is whether the element of “role play” acts on the most influential part in the audiobook industry. An e-questionnaire was designed to collect the data mainly about the users’ preferences on three elements: the cast of the voice actors, the post-production, and the form of the audiobook. And the result shows that most of the young people may care about the form of the audiobook, especially liking the form of performing the stories like drama.

Full textAbstract:
The e-books industry is mature, and audiobooks are becoming increasingly popular. More and more publishers are coming to realize that audiobooks could be a potential revenue driver and intend to release audiobooks. Considering that there is a certain substitutability between e-books and audiobooks, publishers need to decide how to release a book in its audible version and its e-book version into the market. In this paper, we incorporate the discount factor and the consumers’ acceptance level for audiobooks into the consumer utility by dividing consumers into two types, high-value type and low-value type, and construct two different release models: releasing the audiobook and the e-book simultaneously and releasing the audiobook after the e-book. Using an optimization tool, we investigate pricing strategies of a monopolistic publisher under two different release models. By comparing the theoretical results of the two models, we find that when the consumers’ patience exceeds a certain threshold, releasing a book in its audible version after its e-book version is better for the publisher, and the publisher should adopt a skimming (refers to decreasing markups over time) pricing strategy for the e-book in this case. Further, the publisher should set a higher price for the audiobook than the e-book, whether or not they release the audiobook after the e-book. In addition, we conduct a numerical analysis to investigate how the discount factor, the percentage of high-value consumers, and the high-value consumers’ acceptance level for audiobooks affect the consumer surplus and the social welfare. This study offers publishers some managerial insights into the complex issues involving pricing and release strategies.

The article examines the rapid development of the global audiobook market, which is currently the fastest growing sector in the field of book production. It was found that the audiobook market in the United States, which today is considered the largest in the world for the twelve months of 2019 grew by 47% compared to 2018. The growth trend of the audiobook market is stable, growth continues in 2020. The reasons for the growth, which are primarily related to the development of technology, have been studied. Smartphones, tablets and, more recently, artificial intelligence — all this has spurred the development of audiobooks and provided the desired way to get acquainted with the book to those who have vision problems, the elderly. The market for audiobook CDs in 2010 was 58% of sales against 42%. digital shifts. The shift towards the rapid growth of audiobooks began when we switched to digital media instead of using audiobook CDs. In recent years, the situation has changed rapidly because many older people have become better versed in technology, and also because the emergence of new gadgets that can read, attracts a new audience that is getting younger. The average age of listeners has grown from those who are 50 (which was relevant in 2010) to those who are not yet 50. In 2018, Google launched an audiobook store for people aged 45 in different countries in nine different languages. It is emphasized that the audiobook attracts a diverse audience, as it is no longer aimed exclusively at the elderly, but becomes interesting to people of all ages from all walks of life. It has been proven that audiobooks are rapidly gaining share in both the book market and the general media market, but the share of audiobooks in the book market does not come from printed books. 78% of all income from the book trade in the world is accounted for by the printed book. Audiobooks are taking away the frequent market in which e-books dominated a few years ago. According to analysts, by the end of 2023, revenue from the sale of audiobooks will be equal to revenues from e-books.

HOW ATTACHMENT TO PRINT AND PERCEIVED USEFULNESS SHAPE AUDIOBOOK ADOPTION." International Journal of Professional Business Review 9, no. 7 (July 8, 2024): e04762. http://dx.doi.org/10.26668/businessreview/2024.v9i7.4762.
Full textAbstract:
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the factors influencing readers’ choice between audiobooks and physical books. The research focuses on how perceived ease of use and attachment to printed books affect the intention to adopt audiobook services. Theoretical Framework: The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a prominent theory in the field of information systems that explains how users adopt new technologies. Method: For this research, the methodology comprises quantitative method, PLS-SEM analysis, and structural model evaluation. Data collection was carried out through online questionnaires. Results and Discussion: The study supports the role of Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) in increasing Perceived Usefulness (PU) for audiobooks. Attachment to physical books seems to be a complex factor not solely influenced by ease of use or perceived benefits of audiobooks. Research Implications: The study highlights the importance of user-friendly audiobook platforms. Providers should design intuitive interfaces and emphasize ease of use to attract new customers, communicate the practical benefits of audiobooks, such as convenience and utility, consider offering resources or programs that improve technology literacy and comfort, and develop strategies to address attachment by emphasizing how audiobooks can complement, rather than replace, the traditional reading experience. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting attachment to traditional reading formats as a factor influencing audiobook adoption. Previous TAM studies primarily focused on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. This study suggests that emotional attachment to physical books can be a resistance mechanism hindering audiobook adoption.

Abstract This paper presents a Brazilian perspective on audiobooks. It contextualizes the past and current realities of the format in the country, on the basis of surveys coordinated by national associations connected to the book market and of archival research we have undertaken, and shows some examples of recorded literary works and recent initiatives in audiobook production. The ‘acoustic-editorial project’ idea is proposed as a way to highlight and deepen the materiality and production process of audiobooks, and to understand the editorial elements through which the listening experience is created. Authors from book history, bibliography, communication theory, and audiobook studies influenced this investigation and strengthened our construction of audiobooks as a research object.

Purpose This article explores, identifies and conceptualises everyday audiobook reading practices amongst young adults.Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten Swedish audiobook users aged 18–19. The material was analysed using qualitative content analysis and focused on their audiobook use during an average weekday, as this was the time that they listened the most. The theoretical framework consists of theories on practice, time and everyday routine.Findings Five timespaces emerged when audiobook practices were most prevalent: morning routines, commuting routines, school routines, after school routines and bedtime routines. Within these timespaces, several practices could be identified and conceptualised. Three mobile practices were commute listening, exercise listening and chore listening while more stationary practices were homework listening, schoolwork listening and leisure listening. An unexpected finding was how audiobooks routinely were used to aid respondents’ wellbeing. This wellbeing listening was used to alleviate stress, loneliness and help listeners relax or fall asleep. Furthermore, respondents switch between Music, Audiobooks and Podcasts, which is conceptualised as MAP-switching.Originality/value There is a scarcity of research on audiobook use, and this paper contributes with new knowledge on audiobook reading practices, how audiobooks fit into everyday routine and provides concepts to aid further research on audiobook practices.

Numerous studies have been conducted on the usage of audiobooks. However, a qualitative systematic evaluation of the use of audiobooks for the development of listening and speaking abilities has not yet been done. The purpose of this research was to conduct a review of journal publications on the use of audiobooks to improve listening and speaking abilities. By using a qualitative systematic review, the researchers conducted a search of Google Scholar for 390 reference materials on audiobooks as media for teaching listening and speaking. Only three articles were collected and included in the analysis by using coding and classification. The results showed that audiobooks assist students in strengthening their listening and speaking skills. An audiobook cannot replace a teacher and should be utilized in conjunction with other educational materials. Further researchers could conduct research on the audiobooks of non-native English speakers in educational materials.

Audiobooks are one of the many mediums for the delivery of literary works in the digital age. However, audiobooks have existed since 1931. For example, the American Foundation for the Blind and the Library of Congress would provide audiobook-based programmes for the visually impaired. The use of this particular medium in Malay literature is still not considered widespread. After that, audiobooks started to flourish in the field of early childhood education and currently, there is a publishing company that produces audiobooks in Malaysia. However, its existence and evolution in literature are not widely known than to literary works delivered through other new media. This study, funded by the faculty grant GPF006K-2018, examined the various forms of literary audiobooks published by the company Nusantara as a means to provide alternative reading material in Malaysia. This study aimed to identify and discuss the history and development of literary audiobooks in Malaysia to highlight their form and importance in the digital era. This study utilised text analysis to examine past research on audiobooks and analysed various literary audiobooks available in the market. Additionally, interviews were conducted with different publishers to get their feedback regarding the general acceptance of such material amongst their customers. Findings showed that Nusantara Audiobooks actively publishes literary audiobooks, be it from Malaysia or Indonesia. In conclusion, these digital materials in the market would diversify reading methods and analyse literary works. Keywords: audiobooks, Malay literature, digital, alternative, evolution

The use of audiobooks has risen significantly during the last few years in Sweden, a trend reflected in increasing demands for public libraries to provide their users with these books. Digital books are by no means a new phenomenon in public libraries, but the marked interest in borrowing audiobooks and new ways of distributing have led to changes in public libraries’ digital services and a redistribution of media budgets. This article describes who the audiobook users are and which other media they use. Building on this information, the article asks what challenges the demographic data of audiobook users – such as gender, age, and level of education – may pose for public libraries. Based on a quantitative analysis of survey data from Sweden, it is concluded that audiobook use is more common among young, well-educated people with a high level of digital literacy. Subscription services appear to be more popular among audiobook users, as their sale numbers are higher than lending numbers at public libraries. Nevertheless, the conclusions are that audiobooks have a place in public libraries, as they increase the service to communities and have the potential to reach new users. However, it is unclear if public libraries are reaching new groups by offering audiobooks; although the use of digital public library services is increasing, these services are mainly used by people who are already library visitors, and the public library seems to be primarily associated with the printed book.

Digital Internet-distributed audiobooks are a surprising game changer in digital publishing. In recent years, audiobooks have moved from being a peripheral by-product of the printed book into the centre of digital publishing and reading, but are typically still ignored in publishing studies. This article raises the voice of the audiobook by giving it a privileged status in the current transformations of book publishing caused by digitization. We present an original model of the digital audiobook circuit, which is based on interviews and knowledge from the Danish market as part of a global industry, which makes it possible to reflect and adjust according to national variations. The model is framed by theoretical discussions of values and dynamics within the digital audiobook circuit in general.

This issue’s Alert Collector offering on audiobooks is a departure from the usual subject-based column. With the wide availability of downloadable audiobooks, there is a huge opportunity for libraries to serve readers who would rather listen on their mobile devices. Renee Young, a Metadata Librarian III with EBSCO, offers some great advice for any librarian trying to build or improve their audiobook collection. She also suggests ways to promote your collection and help those you serve find great new “reads” in audiobook format. Young is a former reviewer of audiobooks for Booklist, served as member and chair of Listen List Council of the Collection Development and Evaluation Section (CODES) of the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA), and has presented on listener’s advisory at national conferences. Her “listening” skills go back to before becoming a librarian: she served in the US Army as a cryptologic linguist, which involved listening to and translating radio transmissions.—Editor

Latar belakang: Perpustakaan memilki peran penting dalam memenuhi kebutuhan informasi penggunanya tanpa terkecuali termasuk masyarakat berkebutuhan khusus. Penelitian ini berfokus pada kebutuhan informasi kelompok disabilitas tunanetra. Kelompok tunaetra adalah individu yang memiliki keterbatasan dalam hal penglihatan sehingga tidak dapat menerima informasi dalam bentuk visual. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan media lain agar mereka mampu menerima informasi, salah satunya melalui buku audio atau audiobook. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perkembangan koleksi audiobook pada perpustakaan, manfaat audiobook, serta hambatan dan tantangan yang dihadapi oleh perpustakaan dalam mengembangkan buku audio. Metode: Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka. Hasil: Hasil yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini adalah pengembangan audiobook dapat dilakukan melalui dua cara, yaitu dengan menyalakan alat perekam kemudian narator membaca isi buku atau dengan bantuan teknologi text to speech. Kesimpulan: Manfaat dari hadirnya media audiobook yaitu dapat menjembatani kebutuhan informasi kelompok tunanetra, meningkatkan minat baca masyarakat umum, meningkatkan keterampilan pengguna tunanetra dalam menggunakan teknologi informasi, serta membantu melestarikan koleksi bersejarah melalui proses alih media. Namun di sisi lain, terdapat beberapa hambatan dan tantangan dalam mengembangkan koleksi perpustakaan berbasis audiobook, diantaranya: masih minimnya kelompok tunanetra yang melek teknologi, sulitnya memperoleh akses untuk alih media, kurang efektinya penggunaan suara audiobook yang dikeluarkan oleh mesin, dan dikhawatirkan adanya audiobook ini membuat masyarakat malas membaca koleksi cetak atau braillenya sehingga bisa berdampak pada kebutaan huruf. Background: Libraries have an important role in meeting the information needs of their users without exception, including the information needs of people with special needs. This research focuses on the information needs of the blind disability group. The blind group is individuals who have limited vision so they cannot receive information in visual form. Therefore, other media are needed so that they are able to receive information, one of which is through audiobooks. Objective: This research aims to determine the development of audiobook collections in libraries, the benefits of audiobooks, as well as the challenges and obstacles faced by libraries in developing audiobooks. Methods: The method in this research uses the literature study method. Results: The results obtained from this research are that audiobook development can be done in two ways, namely by turning on the recording device and then the narrator reading the contents of the book or with text to speech technology. Conclusion: The benefits of the presence of audiobook media are that it can bridge the information needs of blind groups, increase the general public's interest in reading, improve the skills of blind users in using information technology, and help preserve historical collections through the media transfer process. However, on the other hand, there are several obstacles and challenges in developing audiobook-based library collections, including: the lack of technology-literate blind groups, the difficulty of gaining access to convert print collections to digital audio, the lack of effective use of audiobook sounds produced by machines, causing these audiobooks make people lazy about reading their print or braille collections, which can have an impact on illiteracy.

The area of education has so many themes that a study can branch out from different perspectives and still seem to lack an argument for so many sayings. For this reason, this article discusses a little of a pedagogical resource that is becoming a reality today, especially in a time of pandemic, in which the world was affected in the year 2020: reading in the lives of children in the remote school process. Audiobooks are new reading resources that are gaining space in schools. A different way from the usual is not about nonsense with reading, but about a new view on it; different but updated. As reading is a process in the student's life, and this does not happen immediately, the incentive of the teacher is an important part in the training of a student reader. Every child should be encouraged to know the literature so that he / she knows the importance of reading and interpreting, therefore, associating literacy and reading should be a pedagogical strategy for the teacher who seeks an adequate and continuous training process for his students. Due to the new format of Brazilian education in a pandemic era, audiobooks are used as a virtual technology tool.

The choice of instructional media is pivotal, requiring innovation and practicality. One such medium that has demonstrated considerable promise is the Audiobook, whose effectiveness has already been demonstrated in the context of ELT in Azerbaijan. Building upon this precedent, the present study seeks to adapt this medium for implementation in Indonesia, employing distinct instruments and datasets. The overarching aim of this research endeavor is to assess the viability of Audiobooks as an instructional medium for teaching question tags to ninth-grade students in Indonesia. To rigorously investigate this question, the research design adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing an experimental methodology. The study selects two classes from the ninth-grade population as the sample, encompassing a total of 56 students. Data analysis techniques encompass both descriptive and inferential methods, with the Mann-Whitney U-test applied.. The findings reveal a noteworthy outcome: the achievement of students in the experimental group, exposed to Audiobook-based instruction, surpasses that of the control group. Crucially, this difference is statistically significant, as evidenced by the z-value exceeding the critical z-table value (6.198 > 1.96). Consequently, it is possible to conclude that Audiobooks serve as an effective method for teaching question tags to ninth-grade students in Indonesian junior high schools. These results contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the integration of innovative media, such as Audiobooks, into ELT practices. Moreover, they underscore the adaptability and potential transferability of such instructional approaches across diverse educational contexts, emphasizing the importance of pedagogical innovation in fostering effective language learning.

Abstract Audiobooks offer increased accessibility and new ways of engaging with scholarly texts. Although the development of academic audiobooks is in a relatively early stage, one significant issue that is yet to receive appropriate attention is the presentation of referenced materials in audio form. Presently, this is approached on a case-by-case basis with no centralized industry standards, and so protocols are either set by individual publishers or negotiated between rights-holders and narrators. Narrators usually adopt one of four options for dealing with notes or other referencing tools: complete omission; addition of audio effects to differentiate the reading of references from the primary narrative; reading the reference notes at the end of a chapter or the book; or including with the audiobook files an optional PDF download with reference details. These options give consideration to aesthetic issues, but it is uncertain whether they do justice to questions of academic integrity. The purpose of this article is to encourage scholarly dialogue and a conversation between the audio publishing industry and academia on this issue, and to begin working towards a ‘best practice’ framework that satisfies questions of both aesthetic experience and academic integrity.

<p>Scholars and practitioners have done much research in developing EFL students' reading skill so that they can recall the main points of a text, answer literal and/or inferential questions, and even complete the actual reading of the text. Yet, those mainly have to involve the presence of a teacher or tutor for monitoring whereas students should be trained to be independent in reading. By reviewing related literature, this article is suggesting to use ‘Audiobook' to assist EFL students in reading independently. This article describes how the teaching of reading for EFL students, and how audiobooks can contribute to it. This all finally come with a conclusion that audiobook definitely can assist EFL in students in reading independently that later will supportively develop their reading skill and language competence besides their listening skill itself.</p>

With remediation of the printed book into audiobook subscription services, reading by listening is becoming a popular alternative to reading by seeing. This article explores when people read by listening and whether there may be a shift regarding the places and times people read by listening rather than by seeing. Based on a considerable dataset from a Swedish subscription service for digital books, this article reveals that audiobook reading takes place at somewhat different times than expected and that subscribers read significant amounts each day. The findings indicate that the remediation into reading by listening using digital audiobooks may close the gender gap common in reading, as the reading practices of men and women are very similar, with men even reading slightly more than women. The reading practices of young adults are also similar to the larger population. Furthermore, the concepts stationary reading, mobile reading and stationary/mobile reading are introduced.

As we all know, listening makes learning easier and interesting than reading. An audiobook is a software that converts text to speech. Though this sounds good, the audiobooks available in the market are not free and feasible for everyone. Added to this, we find that these audiobooks are only meant for fictional stories, novels or comics. A comprehensive review of the available literature shows that very little intensive work was done for image to speech conversion. In this paper, we employ various strategies for the entire process. As an initial step, deep learning techniques are constructed to denoise the images that are fed to the system. This is followed by text extraction with the help of OCR engines. Additional improvements are made to improve the quality of text extraction and post processing spell check mechanism are incorporated for this purpose. Our result analysis demonstrates that with denoising and spell checking, our model has achieved an accuracy of 98.11% when compared to 84.02% without any denoising or spell check mechanism.

Audiobooks are a form of technological development that allows students and teachers to access information more easily and flexibly. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by analyzing relevant previous studies and providing a clear and comprehensive description of the use of audiobooks in the context of learning in schools. This research can provide practical recommendations for teachers and schools in implementing audiobooks as part of their learning strategies, as well as other researchers who are interested in researching audiobooks in learning. The results of this study indicate that the use of audiobooks in school learning has been extensively researched and implemented in various contexts and subjects in various countries. Of the 100 articles identified, 72% were written in English, and this research shows that the use of audiobooks in learning is mostly implemented in language subjects. In addition, the type of research that is most often used is qualitative, while the subjects that are most often the focus of research are students, especially to develop listening and reading competencies. Indonesia was also identified as the country that most often conducts research on the implementation of audiobooks in classroom learning.

Full textAbstract:
Audiobooks have received attention as learning media, and have been studied for language-learning benefits. However, Storynory audiobooks’ effects on listening skills are poorly studied. Understanding its effect can help educators and policymakers create effective instructional approaches. So, the objective of this study was to assess the potential impact of ‘Storynory’ audiobooks on the listening abilities. This study was carried out at SMA Kartini Batam on the odd semester of 2022/2023 academic year, employing a quantitative with quasi-experimental design. This study used two tests in collecting the data, namely a pre-test and a post-test. The study’s control group was comprised of 27 students, whereas the experimental group was composed of 19 students. The process of analyzing the data entailed the use of the Shapiro-Wilk technique to examine normality, the Levene Statistics test to evaluate homogeneity, and the t-test formula for the purpose of hypothesis testing. Based on the hypothesis testing, it was found that the t-value was 5.006, which exceeded the critical t-value of 2.101 (5.006 > 2.101). Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. The findings indicate a moderate and statistically significant impact of Storynory implementation on the auditory aptitude of tenth-grade students at SMA Kartini Batam. This study provides evidence-based for teachers to improve listening instruction using Storynory Audiobook. Since this study was only carried out on a limited population, it is recommended that further researchers expand the population to provide a broader understanding of its effectiveness and generalization.

This study analyses the differences and commonalities of acting in traditional radio production and audiobooks. Using the examples of two adaptations of Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita, a radio dramatisation directed by Jiří Horčička (1987) and an audiobook by Natália Deáková (2021), it deals with the differences between the two audio treatments, noting the ways in which the literary subject is creatively concretised through the audio medium and the relationship between the literary text and its vocal interpretation. The aim of the study is to define the specificities and name the typical practices of actor-interpretation within radio and audiobook production. Methodologically, the analysis is based on the structural semiotics of acting, as proposed by Jiří Veltruský for the context of drama acting.

This study explored actualization of affordances of audiobooks for mobile learning, as well as constraints encountered by students engaging with elective readings in a university course. Participants often tried learning in different situations before settling on a preferred learning practice. Students reported having listened on-the-go as well as in their traditional learning spaces. Some students took advantage of hands-free, eyes-free and screen-free listening along another task, such as a commute, note-taking or a sport activity. Participants also leveraged audiobooks for incidental and intentional learning of second language (L2). Co-listening was identified as an affordance stemming from unique properties of audiobooks and students’ initiative. Some students combined listening and reading to address challenges related to mLearning in L2. Despite having had little or no prior experience of learning with audiobooks, most participants discovered new ways to learn - using audiobooks to customize their mobile learning practice.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the teaching and learning process has become more challenging and stressful. Students are expected to do self-learning without being directly guided when attending the class is not possible, while the teachers must keep encouraging the students to learn independently. At the same time, the teachers also have to think about alternative methods and materials for remote learning. Especially for those teachers who teach EFL students, they have to figure out certain materials that meet students' needs and the most relaxing activities that fit students learning styles so that the students can learn independently without feeling bored. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the implementation of audiobooks to foster students' performance in English, especially in reading fluency during remote learning. This study represents Action Research that employs quantitative and qualitative types of data. It is done in the form of cycles adapted from the Action Research cyclical process (from Mertler, 2012b). The result of this study showed that audiobook has a favourable implication on the student's ability to be more fluent in reading and positively influences students' attitudes toward their experience with the audiobook.

Education is one of the essential things in a person's life. Education determines and guides the future and direction of one's life. Although not everyone thinks so, education is still the prioritized human need. A person's talents and skills will be formed and honed through education. Education is also generally used as a measure of the quality of each person. Every Indonesian citizen can utilize education (public property). In addition, employment opportunities can increase inclusive economic growth, which is a situation where job seekers and existing workers fill jobs. Therefore, the utilization of technology, which is rapidly growing, is a forum for employment opportunities for the system of audiobook production, one of which is mixing audio from the system, which is also very necessary so that there is added value in making audiobooks. This is an opportunity for employment opportunities so that it can also help the pace of economic growth.

Full textAbstract:
This article, written on the intersection of public and technical services, proposes a conceptual and theoretical foundation of advocacy for integrating audiobooks into library collections and programs. Suggestions are made primarily with librarians in public libraries in mind, although it is hoped that academic and special librarians will also benefit from them; these suggestions build on the analysis of the rising popularity of audiobooks as an accessible medium and a medium of choice for leisure readers with and without disabilities. We look at the equal status for audiobooks and the wider acceptance of audiobooks through the combined lens of diversity and privilege. In our study, we survey extant literature (research-based, media, and social media publications); examine and synthesize it in a critical and innovative manner (e.g., by combining the social analysis of proliferating and diversified audiobooks with the notions of diversity and privilege); propose new ways of looking at the issues of advocacy and practice; and offer specific ideas for librarians to implement them. We argue that some anxieties and concerns about audiobooks and audio-reading, among others, can derive from different types of privileges held by professionals and social groups, which becomes particularly important when they are endowed with decision-making power; these privileges include the privilege of body ability; the privilege of lifestyle; the Western privilege; the privilege of literacy; privileging format over story; and the privilege of citizenship and language.

The research aimed to analyze audiobook platforms regarding the elements of information representation and information retrieval. As specific objectives, we sought to (i) identify the audiobook platforms available in Brazil;(ii) define the evaluationcriteria for retrieving information in audiobooks;and (iii) analyze the resources, metadata, and functionalities. Methodologically, the research was characterized as descriptive, exploratory, and applied, with a qualitative and quantitative approach involving three distinct stages. Of the 27 metadata and 24 features observed on the platforms, it was found that Audible was the platform that best met 37 (69%) criteria. In contrast, the Ubook platform had the lowest performance, meeting 29 (54%) criteria. The mobile environment proved more efficient than the desktop, serving more metadata and functionalities, although it had positive and negative points. It is concluded that the platforms present resources and functionalities for information retrieval, but there is still spacefor improvement

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims at presenting a survey conducted in 2022 among adults learning English as a foreign language, which explores their attitudes and interest in listening to audiobooks for the purpose of learning English as a foreign language. This study was provoked by the increase in the popularity of audiobooks in the last few years especially during the time of the Covid-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2022. It covers the age group of adult learners who are educated both in the formal education system and outside of it. 280 adults, who have studied, are studying or are fluent in English, from different parts of Bulgaria and those who live abroad have taken part in the survey. It includes two sections with the total number of 25 multiple questions. The results of the survey emphatically show that audiobooks are not a popular teaching tool for learning English, which confirms the current situation regarding the implementation of audiobooks in foreign language teaching, although academic sources reveal abundant evidence of their effectiveness in developing all language competences at all levels of language proficiency. The outcomes of the conducted survey could serve English language teachers as a starting point for the wider use and dissemination of listening to audiobooks as a method of teaching English as a foreign language.
