As a teacher, I can use podcast to find interesting and
up to date resources for my classes, to encourage learners to listen to audio
materials on topics they are interested in, and I can even make my own podcast,
or ask my class to make some. It will be very motivating and attractive.
For example, students can be asked to watch or listen to
material as preparation work for discussion during a class.
This is a sample
