Utilizing podcasting as a tool for oral communication - Day 2 Session 2 (11.30am)

Benefits of using podcasting for language learning has transcended beyond enhancing oracy skills. Every child learns at different learning pace. The availability of podcast freeware and school learning portal allow learners to record, review and revise their audio recordings of their text readings and discussions that reflect their oracy skills at its best. Accessibility from school and home provides every learner with opportunity for on-going development and monitoring of their oracy skills at their own pace, thereby promoting self-directed learning.
