6. Using podcasts in class or for homework
Most podcasts use a weblog as their homepage. When you visit the blog you should see links to audio files.
Podcasts can then be downloaded and transferred to a portable mp3 player, recorded to CD-ROM for use in class, or students can be directed to them for self-study purposes on the computer.
Many of the ELT podcasts come with transcripts to help understanding.

8. Producing your own podcast
Producing a radio show has long been a popular project choice, especially with young learners.
One advantage of recording a show and uploading it to the Web is that your students will probably take more care with the preparation, knowing that it could be potentially listened to by people all over the world.
Finally, the students can invite their family and friends to listen to it. The fact that they have a real audience for their show should act as a great motivator.
