The importance of podcasting in the second language learners

Rate 5

According to what I read in the articles Integrating CALL into the classroom: the Role of Podcasting in an ESL Listening Strategies Course and Blending technologies in ESL courses: A reflexive enquiry, I can say that with the access that we have to technology nowadays, we can use it as a very useful tool to learn a second language. I would like to focus in podcasting which I think is a very useful tool for teachers because we can use podcasting as a supplement to textbook materials, what I am trying to say is that by podcasting students have an easy access to files that includes PDF files, audios, books and even radio which means an easy access to educational contents. I strongly believe that with technology, education will overcome the traditional way of teaching because it will be substituting a classroom for blogs, websites, videoconferences, and of course podcasting.
