Description

This training will introduce podcasting as a valuable and transversal tool to improve oral skills in the classroom. Podcasts and web radios are becoming more popular so it´s no surprise that audio narratives can help educators to strengthen oral communication.

Teachers will learn how to create, record, and edit podcasts, and discover how podcasts can be used to develop students’ oral communication skills, creativity, and critical thinking. The course will focus on leveraging podcasts to improve speaking, listening, and presentation skills, fostering self-expression, and enhancing student engagement.

Through hands-on practice and real-world examples, teachers will gain confidence in integrating podcasting into their teaching methods, while exploring ways to make learning fun, dynamic, and collaborative

Learning objectives

In detail, the specific objectives of the course are:

To find the best software to record and edit a podcast
To publish podcasts live on social media or keep them privately.
To incorporate place-based engaging activities in their lessons.
To understand the value of communication.
To strengthen European collaboration among –past, present and future– participants.

Thanks to this course the participants will:

Learn how to use podcasts to enhance oral skills
Discover new techniques to improve, motivate and infuse passion into art and technology
Construct audio-stories with structures and vital plot points
Build confidence and self-esteem.
Make contacts with new partners interested in developing European Projects through specific networking activities.

Methodology & assessment

The approach followed is both practical and engaging, giving teachers the tools they need to incorporate podcasting into their classrooms while also developing oral skills. Since podcasting involves creativity, collaboration, and technology, the methodology should be hands-on, student-centered, and reflective.

Troughout the training, the teachers will have interactive workshops to work on creating their own podcasts starting with simple tasks like scripting and recording short segments. This learning-by-doing approach ensures they understand the technical aspects and creative processes.

The focus will be on experimenting with various podcast formats such as solo recordings, interviews, group discussions, and storytelling to expose teachers to a variety of formats they can later adapt for their students.

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

The company will provide the majority of materials to participants and all the course contents will be shared in a digital format. Regarding this, participants' digital tools will be improved and there will be any doubts about sharing the materials. Actually, a Google Drive access will be given to participants, so they can download everything that has been receiving during the training time. Furthermore, monitoring and mentoring arrangements will take place during and after the course.
