TEACHING LISTENING: PODCASTING



Assalamu'alaikum wr,wb

In this article we focuses on teaching listening skills through Podcasts.
As English teacher candidates, we are absolutely try to improve our teaching ability, starting from approaches, methods, strategies, techniques, learning medias and English instruction. In the process of teaching and learning language, the four skills become the most important aspects. one of the easier way to get the supplementary material for the students is download the file from any website. especially for listening skills. In teaching listening skill there are a lot of optional ways or medias: songs/musics, videos, podcast, and many others. One of the supplementary material often used by the teacher is Podcast. In other side there is also problem faced by the teacher regarding this way. the Podcast is not always appropriate for the Indonesian culture. to solve this problem the Indonesian teacher can make their own Podcasts.

The application or software that we can use is Audacity.
You can download the Application file HERE.
This is he example of OUR Podcast about Cultural Shock made by the student teacher from The State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya in Indonesia.
