Uso de podcasts para mejorar las habilidades de escucha en estudiantes de lenguas extranjeras con nivel intermedio

Abstract

Audio resources have been implemented in English language teaching to tackle mostly listening, one of the main four skills, yet podcasts have not been explored enough in English lessons. This research project investigates the comparison of qualitative data obtained from surveys handed to first-semester language bachelor's degrees related students, where they’ll score their experience using scripted audio conversations and podcasts. The results of this research and feedback that were obtained during the pedagogical intervention. show evidence of the effectiveness of podcasts regarding listening proficiency. Furthermore, teachers are encouraged to use podcasts as a technological option to support language learning, where proper guidance and full potential is promoted within English students.
