Hi Aiden,
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed listening to your podcast, you made some really interesting points that I had never considered before, particularly when you discussed improving literacy skills. I recently did some research and found that podcasts can also benefit pupils who are learning English as a second language. By listening to a podcast it means that they are being exposed to the English language in school as well as at home. This should dramatically improve their communicational skills, speech and pronunciations (Sprague and Pixley, 2008).

ReplyDeleteI think myself and Bethany have highlighted the use of podcasting and vodcasting to improve children’s language. I think I would use podcasting in the future to help pre-teach children key content. For example, I might provide EAL children with a podcast on some of the more complex words we would be using in class that week. It is important to acknowledge the downfalls of podcasts though and one critique highlighted by Sprague & Pixley, (2008) is that the environment for recording has to be very controlled. This might make it difficult for children to record podcasts themselves when in the typical ‘busy’ classroom environment.
