Podcasting in the Foreign Language Classroom Sarah Shackelford Clermont Northeastern H.S. http://madameshackelford.wikispaces.com/ Networking Meeting November 18, 2008
2
Attitudes about Podcasting “There aren’t enough hours in the day” “Don’t talk to me about technology” Too expensive Security and safety Too nontraditional
3
What are the pros? Fun ! “Hands-on”, do-able and practical, inexpensive Supports social, collaborative learning as well as individualized instruction Supports efforts to differentiate instruction and is a viable alternative for delivering content and offering remediation or extended support Aligns with State Standards
4
More Pros Share information with anyone at any time. ( Examples: Absent student downloads podcast of the lesson. Class news or information communicated to parents and the community.) Learning occurs 24/7 while listening to podcasts ; authentic language & choice in content Possibility for social and intercultural exchanges Creation of podcasts supports skills development (research, writing, speaking, etc.)
5
Try… Listening to vocabulary and grammar lessons, but also music, radio and other audio for native speakers (whole class or individual activities) Recording songs, choral readings, poetry, dialogues, audio greetings, newscasts and other “radio programs” Playing games with recordings(“Guess who said”) Exchanging audio topics with another class
