the claim

Listening to audiobooks improves listening comprehension skills.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
8 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that listening to audiobooks improves listening comprehension skills?

Unclear. The retrieved items consistently point one way: several reviews and one quasi-experimental study report that audiobooks and similar audio materials help develop listening comprehension, but the measured evidence comes from EFL or foreign-language learners in specific settings, so the general claim is supported only in part.
