Abstract
"In recent decades, the teaching of the English language has been increasing in many of the country's schools, making it one of the most widely spoken along with Spanish and other indigenous languages. But there are cases in which teachers don’t usually use materials that help students' learning, that’s why this research aims to know what the benefits are of using a new material in teaching English to high school students. This new material is the use of audiobooks as supporting material to help students improve their listening and reading skills, that’s why the research was carried out through a qualitative method using a survey divided into three sections to know students' personal information, their point of views on the use of audiobooks, and their personal opinions on the importance of English in their lives. As a result, the students seem to have a low level of comprehension, but they agree with the use of the audiobooks and are confident that their listening and reading skills will improve with the use of this material, thus achieving their learning of the English language is more didactic and obtain a better level of comprehension. On the other hand, most of them agree to learn English as a second language to find a good job or to travel abroad".
