Podcast – An Insight Into its Beneficence in Language Learning and Students’ Experience
Abstract:
Podcasts and videocasts, well-known Web 2.0 tools have been in use in foreign language teaching for more than a decade now. Extensive research, on a global level, on the potential and proven benefits of using podcasts for developing all language skills (in particular listening), can create a belief that podcasts are now widely used on all levels of foreign language study in Serbia. This type of belief, combined with an ever increasing number of available language learning tools, may lead us to think that in 2021, podcasts are outdated and should be substituted with Web 3.0 or even Web 4.0 tools. However, this paper aims to show that students entering their Ist year of study on a tertiary level are not that familiar with the above mentioned technology and are not informed of their value in both in-class and out-of-class language learning. Bearing in mind the soaring popularity of short digital recordings available online, it is our opinion that the “podcasting culture” is yet to thrive in our country. This will, in turn, lead to an increase in its usage for educational purposes particularly in the field of foreign language teaching and learning.
