Hello everyone !
Here is my very first project which is created in
collaboration with my dear friend, Ecem AKGÜL
Online recording software >>
Our project is podcasting. A podcast is a digital recording
audio, made available on the internet for downloading to a personal audio
player such as a computer or a mobile device.
For our podcast task, we wrote a two-minutes-long story by ourselves and recorded it. We added different sound effects for the liveliness of the story and we changed our voices accordingly to the mood of the characters to make it more realistic. Considering our choice of vocabulary and the way we pronounced them, this podcast is more suitable for A2/B1 level of EFL students/teenagers. One of the diffuculties was creating the story with the limited number of words given for it but it helps you to enhance your imagination, of course. The other one was the recording part. We recorded our voices for several times until we could give the emotions to the characters properly. However, we had so much fun in the process and this is one of the main things which makes podcasting really suitable for education.
As podcasting is a audio system, it draws students’ attention much more quickly than a classical way of teaching and makes the lesson more enjoyable and fun. It helps students enhance their listening and comprehension skills. It also provides opportunity to improve their pronunciation of words.
We see that there are many advantages of podcasting so it is quite suitable for EFL teachers to use podcasts in their classes to make lessons more efficient. In this case, our podcast can be a good example for you to use because we are sure that your students will enjoy it and you can create different activities based on this podcast. You can also create your own podcast or you can even help your students to create theirs which will increase their interest for language and will make a positive effect on their learning process.
Let’s get one step closer to the technology usage in language teaching with podcasting !
