THE TECHNIQUES FOR USING PODCASTS TO DEVELOP LISTENING AND SPEAKING SKILLS

Abstract

This article examines pedagogical techniques for integrating podcasts into foreign language instruction to foster listening comprehension and speaking proficiency. Drawing on empirical research and pedagogical frameworks, it proposes strategies for designing, implementing, and evaluating podcast-based activities in language classrooms. The study highlights the potential of podcasts to provide authentic, flexible, and learner-centered input, and offers practical recommendations for teachers. The findings suggest that systematic use of podcasts supports both receptive (listening) and productive (speaking) skills development.
