The
importance of the podcast in the development of listening skill
Something that
I want to remember for this article is that Podcast is a tool very useful in an
English classroom; consist in the use of videos and recording of native
speakers to development the listening skill where students have to listen and
in the same time they have to answer different questions. On the other hand, there
are three stages that are important in the use of podcast Input salience,
Enhanced input and Authenticity.
Podcast has the capacitive to spur of the second language
listening, but it is a tool that the teachers have to manage very well, because
is a blending of technology that it is becoming very popular over time.
Today with the huge range of technology the teachers
can use podcast like a main tool to development listening skill and the
students will be able to listening and see videos of native speakers. Thus,
learns are more familiar with the accent and expressions, but it is important
mention that in this country no all the colleges or places have the necessary technology
to development a good class using this tool. Thus, this problem is becoming in
a disadvantage for each learner.

Hello Tatiana, I like your comment because the benefits that students have using podcast to do activities at home are many; for example, they can improve their listening skill. Also, I consider that now a days learners are very familiar with technology and they know how to use this device to look for information in a website, but in our country the podcast tool is not very common in English classes, and some teachers don’t use technology to help students to improve their skills and that problem become a difficulty for learners. To finish, as you say, I consider podcast are a very useful tool.
ReplyDeleteHello Tatiana. You mentioned in your log that Podcast is a tool teachers should manage very well. Why do you think so? What benefits would students get if teacher does so? What problems could emerge if teacher does not?
ReplyDeleteHello teacher. I believe that all the teachers have to be able to use computers and internet very well because in some case teachers do not kwon anything about the technology or the programs that they can use in a classroom. Also, teachers can use podcast or other kind of programs to development and increase the students´ knowledge for example: students can recognize the different accents that exist and acquire new expression of native speakers.
ReplyDeleteI agree Tati. What could happen if the teacher is not up-to-date?
