4. Ideas:

I would like to use podcasts or video-podcasts as a Tv series or a soap opera, so that every day or every week students see a chapter of the same story. I think it would be intersting for students because they can get involved with the storie and the characters, they can get familiar with the way of speaking, so they will have interest in wait for the next episode in order to know how the story continues.


Poscasts are a very good tool to get students involve in English learning, it is specially good in contexts like Chile were students have no much access to speak whith native English Speakers. I think that by choosing well the topics of the podcasts you can motivate your students to listen and pay attention, you can get them involve in a conversation or composition about the topic.
