Hi everyone!
I've come back to tell you an amazing discover I've recently known! The podcast! It is an incredible resource to practice and foster speaking skills!
A podscast is the distribution of the multimedia files (usually audio or video) that we can upload to a digital platform and other people can hear them. We can also download them and listening to them wherever we want. They are a really impresive didactic resource because students can work with them in small or big groups, in pairs or individually.
They are the best way to create motivation in our students. They are going to speak in English, write their script and be familiarize with tics, developing their digital competence. What a complete activity!
In this post, I am going to tell you how to create a podcast. The first thing you have to do is to create a soundcloud account. You can use other tools but I have used this because is extremely easy! These are the other tools:
The first thing you should do is to create a document in which you can prepare your project. Here I attach you my google document to help you create yours.
Then, using soundcloud, once you are already login in, your channel is created. Then, you just have to personalize it. This is my channel as an example for you.

Then, you can create a playlist to help your students do their job. I have created two playlists. One of them is with Italian opera to get them inside their culture and the other has relaxing music to help them to take their nervous away and do the project as best as they can. I want to show you both as an example:
Relaxing music playlist:
Trip to Italy playlist:
To create the playlists, you have lot of music under CC0 license to choose!
And finally, I want to share with you my podcast:
I hope you have enjoyed this post as much as I do while I was doing it and I also hope that you start using podcast in your lessons to foster the speaking skill, It is a great tool!
If you do, post me a comment!
