Abstract

The utilization of podcast technology significantly broadens the scope for enhancing students' abilities in listening and speaking, as compared to conventional pedagogical approaches in teaching these skills. By incorporating diverse podcasts, students are prompted to engage with a wide array of speech characteristics such as timbre, tempo, and intonation, thereby extending their auditory perceptual range and fostering the development of proficient listening skills. This article explores the pragmatic facets of cultivating students' listening and speaking skills through the integration of educational podcasts
