Books give language learners a chance to learn new vocabulary and improve their comprehension skills. Audio-books are a great resource that give English learners the opportunity to practice listening and comprehension and improve pronunciation.
If you are buying a book or audio-book for an ESL learner you have to consider this two factors:
- The level of the learner (Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced)
- The type of readings that the learner enjoys the most
If you are not sure about which book to choose, go for a classic book. Classic books are timeless and everybody likes them.
Here you have a list of great books and audio-books for English learners. The books are sorted by levels.
