You might be interested in reading about "Earphone English," a collaborative
program developed by the Berkeley CA. Public & High School libraries. Here
are some links with tips & suggested titles for using audiobooks with
English Language Learners:

Subject: Audio Book Help

I have 2 students I'm working with that would really benefit from audio
books.  They both have book reports to do for their English classes.  I
don't have much money to spend. One student (a native of Mexico who has only
been in the US one year) has to read an award winning book.  The other is a
lower functioning student so anything too lengthy or complex will be
difficult for her to grasp.  She chose Green Angel by Alice Hoffman, but of
course I can't find that on audio book.  Anyone have any suggestions or
ideas that could help make this a little easier for me?

Thanks!
Gwen
