Podcasts offer great opportunities for listening in English .Teachers and learners can benefit from working online and listening to them. In some cases learners can also download them and listen to them many times so that they can work on the language and on summarizing the content.
Good leaners need to work on their listening skills and today we can really improve our level of English. Teachers can rely on them for learning more about the topics they are interested in and these podcasts can provide really interesting documents which are worth listening to.
This interesting webinar with Pete Sharma explains why we should use them and suggest listening to them : I cannot but agree with him. The Language exposure can develop our students' listening skills and podcasts can provide good quality language input.
