“…However, the experimental group reading comprehension achievements are higher than the control group, it can be deduced that the use of audiobooks in the teaching of reading is superior to the use of textbooks, therefore the alternative hypothesis Ha is accepted. This finding is in line with listening while reading, which will lead students to be ready and comprehend its content, and in this particular way, has slowly developed the English competence of the students (Chen, 2004;Imawan & Ashadi, 2019;Kuzmičová, 2016).…”

The audiobook does not only involves multiple senses of the students, but also the inclusion of its speech, helping them to improve their comprehension. This study sought to investigate the effects' of audiobook on students' reading comprehension, and to find out students' interest in audiobooks on the teaching of reading. The mixed method called the Quan-qual model applied at this study. Some sixty eleventh-grade students participated, and data were collected by employing reading comprehension tests and questionnaires (open-ended questions). The quantitative data analyzed using paired and independent sample t-test through SPSS 20 Version, and the qualitative data analyzed through an open-coding technique. The use of audiobook was more effective than the non-audiobook. It is proven by the comparison of the mean score from both of the groups which (68.00 ˃ 48.80). The p-value in the post-test is .000, and the level of significance is α 0.05, the p-value is smaller than α (.000<0.05). The hypothesis testing found that t-value = 14.699 was higher than t-table = 2.045 (p=.000, df=29); it means that Ha was accepted, and Ho was rejected. Another, the students are interested in using audiobooks because it stimulating, challenging, available, powerful and innovative in the reading activity. Keywords: Audiobook, Reading Comprehension, Student Interest.

“…However, there is growing interest in related research. The dynamics and consequences of differences in text experience, for example, are discussed with respect to their auditory or visual presentation (Kuzmičová, 2016; Rubery, 2011a). Audionarratology has been the topic of a recent conference and a related book, spanning arts at the interface of narrative and sound in a broad range of media, for example, song lyrics, radio drama, video games, and audio guides in art galleries (Mildorf & Kinzel, 2016; see also Rubery, 2011b).…”

Narrative aesthetic absorption describes a state in which we focus on the story world of a narrative while becoming less aware of our surroundings and ourselves. It is characterized by dimensions such as focused attention, vivid mental imagery, and emotional engagement. In our study, we investigate narrative aesthetic absorption in the context of listening to audiobooks. We asked participants to evaluate their absorption experience during listening to 56 excerpts of audiobooks, and we recorded their eyes to measure saccadic, pupil, and blinking activity. In addition, we analyzed the acoustic features of the audiobook excerpts. To understand the relationships between absorption in audiobooks, eye movement behavior, trait absorption, and acoustic signatures of audiobooks, we fitted linear mixed effect models predicting the subjective experience of absorption. Our results show that absorption was predicted by decreased blink rate, increased articulation rate of the narrator, and trait absorption. Blink rate and trait absorption also predicted valence and liking of the audiobooks. Articulation rate predicted liking and pitch predicted arousal. Being absorbed during audiobook listening shows high similarity with being absorbed during literary reading but less similarity with feeling absorbed while listening to music.

“…Since individuals seldom had private copies of texts in the early Christian period, the hearing of texts would have allowed for greater movement of the eyes, a scenario in which the physical space could serve to intensify the process of mental imaging thus strengthening an individual's emotional response (Connelly 2011, 314;Stökl Ben Ezra 2014). The role that the physical environment plays during reading is thought to contribute to a stronger emotional response within the listener (Kuzmičová 2016). The naturally associative aspects of emotion can also allow a hearer to actualize a text by allowing him/her the opportunity to reinvigorate memories of similar emotional experiences (Harkins 2012).…”

This essay examines the first four visions in the Book of Visions found in the early Christian work known as the Shepherd of Hermas wherein Hermas reports having had a visionary experience happen to him. These are highly mediated and thoroughly edited literary reports that draw upon the emotional contours of foundational narratives and myths. Despite their highly constructed elements, literary features of the visionary reports can nevertheless give some insight into how flesh and blood readers may have experienced the reading or hearing of these texts. With the help of the integrative approaches associated with the cognitive literary theory, this essay considers how the process of imagining the scenes in the Book of Visions participates in the formation of the self.
