2. What do you think about the podcast? Which type of learners could benefit from the podcast?
1) Opinion for the podcast: I think the podcast is very, very effective way to ESL/EFL learners to approach English in interesting and easy way. Nowadays, most students are familiar with the computers, iPod and smart tablets etc. They easily can download the podcast recordings or videos and use it for their language learning. They feel boring to their text-book materials. However, podcast has variety of subjects and methods on English. Students can pick and choose the contents they like and teachers can use proper podcast materials for their students as well. Electronic devices like lap-top, smart-phones and mp3 players make learners to save time and effort with effectiveness.
2) Which type of learners could benefit from the podcast?
: I'm sure that many kinds of podcast have certain level of contents. However, I think podcast is a great learning tool for intermediate learners who have good listening skills and much interests in English already. For the beginners, the podcast can draw the learners' interests a little bit maybe, but it will be not that much effecctive way for the beginners. Intermediate learners can tell their level and enthusiasm for language goals, so they will choose and pick one for using very effective way.
