Introduction
Living in the era oof information & technology
Technology brings us new utilities each ppassing second
These rapid developments have their own reflection in the education realm
The advent of useful tools such as smartboards, laptops, smartphones, laptops, tablets,iPods & wireless technologies has contributed much to learning & teaching process
Owing to these diigital tools & applications both teaching & learning have become far more collourful easier
As a result of the fast developments in technology & education, the expectations of learners are constantly changing
Therefore both teachers & learners are to keep pace with such rapid development & assume new responsibilities
New technology education paradigm of the 21st century Bonk suggests ten openers likely to foster learning:
-Wed Searching in the World of e-books
-E-learning & blended learning
-Availibility of Open Source & Free Software
-Leveraged Resources & Open Course-Ware
-Learning Object Repositories & Portals
-Learner Participation in Open Information Communities
-Electronic Collaboration
-Alternative Reality Learning
-Real-Time Mobility & Portability
-Networks of Personalized Learning
Language learning & teaching from podcasting
Both teachers & st/ts can easily find &utilize an unlimited number of resources on such sites that are designes to help them in their lang.learning
Digital tools & learning aids can be really motivating as audio & video resources appeal to diigital natives far more than writer resources
Working both online & offline on any diigital device, podcasts remove time & place restriction
St/ts hold the options to extend their knowledge out of classroom context & improve their land. skills on their, which makes them autonomous learners
As podcasts consiist of audio & video files, they constitute an available tool that contributes to the development of listening & pronunciation skills
Podcasts remove this barrier through original speech, dialogues, radio & TV programmes
Podcasts also foster other lang skills such as reading, vocabulary & wriiting skills in particular
Podcast sites generally offer the transcripts of the audio & video files with accompanying exercises
Accordingly, lang.learners can reap an integrated benefit from podcasts on their journey to develop lang.skills
The difficult alternative "creating one's own original podcasts" is a bit more demanding but much more enjoyable
Learners become much more active through learning by doing
Podcasting is harder than making use of the existing podcasts for both learners & teachers, bur getting involved in such a process will enhance the sense of learning by doing, raise st-st/t & st-teacher communication, & broaden the st/ts out of class experience
Teachers r=through podcasting can turn their classes into flipped lassroom & focus more on the practical dimension within class hours
At this point, digital immigrants may be disadvantageous as creating podcasts require a certain level of technical knowledge, however by facing their technologically-related weaknesses & getting external help may handle this disadvantage
The teacher's role is quite important in the use of podcasts because they are expected to guide the st/ts when & how to utilize certain podcasting websites
St/ts should have 24/7 internet access to & some websites require subscription fee, such issues can cause a real disadvantage for some st/ts
Podcsts for some st/ts may be distractive for, as the cyber world is exempt from restrictions
Lures from other tools like social media accounts may probably distract self-studying learners from the active task the focus on
podcasts may cause overdependence on technology over time. Therefore a sheer balance should be established between paper-pencil studies & compputer-screen studies
St/ts should be made aware of the potencial benefits of using podasts for lang,learning on the existing podcasts or their own podcast-producing experiences should be carefully guided by lang.teacher
