Teaching Listening Using Podcast

For ESL or EFL students, listening is rather difficult skill, because they must learn to listen the native speaker’s speaking, moreover, sometimes the speaker speaks fast.

Listening is not only classroom activity for language learners, but should also be recreational activity outside classroom. Podcast is an interesting media for teaching listening, beside students must listen to the audio that based on their lesson.

There are many podcasts that provided in internet, which easy to be hunted for and downloaded by students. They can choose which podcast they like and suitable with their level. Podcast also provided various topics that will make students free to choose which topic they like.

In session 11, my project is making my own podcast by recording, it is group work, and the topic is culture shock. So, we are in five doing conversation about culture shock, we must record it and upload it in our blog.
