"Laptop and microphone Joe Dale is an independent consultant working with CILT, Links into Languages, The British Council and the BBC. He is host of the TES MFL forum, former SSAT Languages Lead Practitioner and is a regular conference speaker. Joe has been podcasting since 2006, you can read more in his blog Integrating ICT into the MFL classroom. Creating and listening to podcasts offers many learning opportunities for pupils both in and out of the classroom. The cyclical process promotes speaking, listening and writing skills and can improve pronunciation, confidence and engagement. Scripting, recording and editing caters to a range of learning styles, facilitates peer assessment, pupil voice and collaborative project-based learning. Pupils are able to access higher order thinking skills, foster creativity, revise lesson content and deepen their understanding as a result. Podcasting also allows pupils to publish professional sounding audio inexpensively to a real audience, giving them a sense of ownership and a more relevant and meaningful purpose to their work. Showcasing pupils' work in this way can forge links with the wider community and celebrate achievement too. Downloading podcasts on to a computer or mobile device lets learners review their learning at their own pace at a time which suits them wherever they may be and as many times as they want. Providing a transcript makes the content even more accessible and enables further personalised and distance learning to take place."
