2. WHAT’S A PODCAST?
It is a series of audio episodes generally focused on a topic or several topics in order to
achieve a specific purpose.
Using podcast in ESL teaching is very useful because they allow learners to practice their
listening skills by getting immersed in second or foreign languages conversions that
provide input. In addition, podcast can also give them the opportunity to develop their
speaking skills while they record themselves allowing listener to notice of their output.
