podcasts in education

hi, it`s me again, the random guy and his TEFL experience^_^

I`m gonna talk about how podcast can help students in learning English as a foreing language
i had to post thisidea on

but i couln`t. the page was secured, so i`ll post here my idea^^.
as you may know, podcast are digital media files that you can hear on internet, using an Ipod, or a computer directly, but how can it help the English learning and understanding???
simply.
Students are motivated with tecnology, so a podcast is much more interesting for them than a written test, or an oral test, students may use podcast to practice their pronunciation, and comunicative skills, by hearing themselves after they talk, ussually when someone talks, he/she doesn`t pay attention to how they say words, neither they pay attention to how they are using words, and making sentences, so they may record themselves using a podcast and then they hear the recorded conversation, phrase, etc... after that they can hear what mistakes are on it and correct them, so podcast are very useful and fun to use when we`re talking about learning another language.

I`ll post here some podcasts links were you can experience by yourselves how fun and useful podcasts can be, so enjoy these
