Auditory learning is a language learning method that emphasises listening skills to acquire language proficiency. This library research aims to explore the use of auditory learning methods for French as a third language in Malaysia. This research examines the benefits and challenges of using auditory learning for French language acquisition in the Malaysian context through a review of peer-reviewed articles, books, and other sources. The results suggest that auditory learning can be an effective method for language learning, providing learners with opportunities to develop their listening and speaking skills and gain exposure to authentic French content. However, the research also highlights some of the challenges of using auditory learning, including the need for learners to access high-quality audio resources, the potential for miscommunication due to different dialects and accents, and the limited opportunities for interaction and feedback. Therefore, this research provides valuable insights into the use of auditory learning for French as a third language in Malaysia and suggests avenues for future research to develop effective language learning strategies in the Malaysian context further.
