    (University of Oum El Bouaghi, 2018) Doumir, Mouchira; Adjadj, Djalila
    Many scholars assert the positive effect of incorporating authentic materials in EFL classrooms. Authentic materials play a great role in teaching and learning process. Besides, using these tools helps learners to achieve an effective learning through creating a real input and exposing them to real language which has been produced by native speakers. In essence, the present study aims at investigating EFL teachers' and students' attitudes towards the use of audio short stories to enhance EFL learners' listening skill. To fulfill this aim, a descriptive method was undertaken and data were gathered through two questionnaires administered to (40) second year LMD students and (13) teachers of Oral Expression at Larbi Ben M'Hidi University. The questionnaires were analyzed in terms of frequency and percentage by means of the statistical package SPSS. The results indicate that both teachers of Oral Expression and students hold a positive attitude toward the use of audio short stories in the classroom as a strategy to enhance students' listening abilities. Furthermore, the use of audio short stories encourages students to improve their listening skill, raise their motivation and expose them to the real language.
