LITERATURE REVIEW  Podcasts are also good tools to improve language proficiency. Man –Man (2007) states that there are two types of podcasts: Radio and Independent podcasts. Podcast provides educators with a variety of teaching strategies to meet the needs of the students. Jowitt (2008) suggests that the advantages of podcasts include the mobility of the device and the flexibility of the content, which eases student learning. Various types of podcasts target different audiences. The podcasts offer all kinds of interesting topics which students can look through. ELT podcasts are particularly suited for extensive listening, for the purpose of motivating student interest in listening to English, and providing them with exposure to native speakers’ speech (Rost, 1991).

Methodology  Participants- eight EFL students  Age  Proficiency- intermediate  Post-activities  survey First they were introduced the podcasts, they listened to it once and then they did the comprehension activities and discussion. Then the teacher gave them survey.

RECOMMENDATION We strongly recommend to use podcasts regularly in Esl/Efl classrooms.  They develop listening and speaking skills.  They are informative.  They are new and interesting for students.  Some students had challenges because of accent.

Online games

ONLINE GAMES INTRODUCTION An online game is a video game played over some form of computer network, using a personal computer or video game console. The aim of this study was to see whether students learn vocabulary through online games or they just remember the words during the process of playing for a short time.  EDUCATIVE VALUE  FUN  ENGAGING  ENJOYABLE  ACQUISITION MORE THAN LEARNING  MOTIVATING

LITERATURE REVIEW  Gairns and Redman (1986) suggest the following types of vocabulary presentation techniques: Visual techniques, verbal explanations and use of dictionaries.  Many experienced textbook and methodology manuals writers have argued that games are not just time-filling activities but have a great educational value.

 According to Amato (1988) and many other authors, games can lower anxiety, thus making the acquisition of input more likely.  Not all games are appropriate for all students irrespective of their age (Siek-Piskozub, 1994).

METHODOLOGY  Post test (based on the food vocabulary).  Observation  Participants 7  Age 8-10  Proficiency-elementary

 Online game based on food vocabulary  Introduction of the vocabulary at the beginning of the lesson  Playing the game  Post test  Fun and enjoyable

RECOMMENDATION We recommend to use online games for ESL/EFL purposes as …  It provides with many visuals which are very impressive.  They do not learn the words with translations which helps provide students with L2 environment,  Engaging and interesting.
