Help students to develop their listening skill(Gabriela Orellana)
Developing the listening skill has been a big problem for the students during a lot of years, because they have not been taught how to improve their listening. In fact, in the that teacher have helped them have been useless because teacher use old techniques such as cassettes and old audios to make them fill their book. In my opinion exist a lot of innovate material that can help. Such podcast, that method is very important because the students have the opportunity to communicate with other pupils. Also with this method students might be able to exercise their ear at the time to identify the key words, and difficult conversation to understand. Therefore, if one day I get the opportunity to teach listening skill, I would like to teach it using the podcast instead of having my student’s wit boring with old listening’s audios. Furthermore, I consider that teachers have to change the way to teach and create their activity to teach the skills, because sometimes what they do is not meaningful for the students. To conclude, using the new technology students have a different way to teach with an innovate way and we us futures teachers this will be a big help at the time to make our classes.
Gaby, I totally agree with you. Technology has developed a lot of tools that teachers and students can use to improve their English skills. What is interesting is that listening is one of the hardest area that teacher can have. So, Podcast is a good option that teachers can manage to get students more interested and have a more interactive class. Moreover, students have the chance to even download the content at home, so that, they can practice at any time. Also, I like that you think that teachers need to be more creative to have a more meaningful classes, in that way we as teachers will make the difference.

It is a fact that listening is a big problem for students because it is very difficult to understand, and find the correct way to in which they could feel motivated and the process of learning becomes interesting. Nevertheless, podcast has innovate the last years education especially listening classes as Gaby said , this new method provides them a lot of tools that help them their listening skill in in an easier and educational way.
