Vocaroo is a?a very user-friendly tool for podcasting; all you need is to go to the link (http://vocaroo.com/ )and have a mike (some computers
have built in ones). Then you will be ready to make the whole world listen toyou!
I believe that podcasting can have great potential to foster motivation and enhance learning. I have asked my students to use vocaroo to practice their speaking and soe newly words phrases about reading and intrpreting charts and they embeded?their voice in?their posts.
?
And it?s not only me. There is some evidence from research. For example, Hew?s review (2009)? analyzed 8 studies which focused on effects of using podcasts through
participants? self-reports, questionnaires and/ or interviews and concluded that use of podcast could enhance student learning.
So here?are some ideas if you would liketo experiement with Vocaroo.
Some Suggestions:
- Vocaroo can be used as a learner diary to recycle newly learned vocabulary and grammar structures. You can ask
students to tell the story of their day (or week). - ?Students can also be asked to present a graded reader, their favorite story, food?etc. to practice certain speaking skills.
- ? (Open-ended for your suggestions
)
You should try it out. I am sure that you will love it. If you know any other podcasting providers please share?
Thanks.
Enjoy.
