Efl Talks - Terms
- 1. PODCAST by Nives Torresi
- 2. Understanding the term PODCAST What is a PODCAST ? According to the Oxford dictionary: “A digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new instalments of which can be received by subscribers automatically.”
- 3. Audio to PODCAST MP3, WAV, WMA, etc...
- 4. History of the PODCAST The history of the Podcast began in the mid 1990’s when there was a need for the average person to listen to an audio recording for vocal or musical content via the internet. Even for events like live ‘Internet Radio’ shows which began to appear on the internet where live, recorded or archived content was available (mostly free) to subscribers. Hence the need to perfect a form of audio file format that was no longer physical, like the audio tape for tape recorders, but that provided the exact same thing. Also there soon became a need for the listeners or educators to interact with their ‘own’ produced audio files. EFL Talks is a great example of Live/Recorded Podcasting and/or Webcasting (video+audio) via the internet.
- 5. Education PODCASTs Many school textbooks, especially for language learning have made use of audio podcasts since the audio tape era. Educators created their own audio tape recordings for use in their classrooms. Obviously the audio tapes did have their technical difficulties and sometimes were ‘chewed up’ and destroyed without any backup! The advent of the CD and DVD made the addition of Podcasts and Video files readily accessible to students and teachers - still in use throughout schools and learning institutions. However the digital audio file can be shared via link, email, media exchange sites or social networks, giving the learners 24 hour access to learning material.
- 6. How to make a PODCAST The most important tool for creating your own PODCAST is the use of a professional (or semi-professional) Microphone! So making this investment at the start is worthwhile, the next is understanding and making use of free audio production software. The best free audio production software is AUDACITY there are useful tutorials that can help guide you to make the best use of this software too! It is as important to remember the recording shared publicly will normally be available for anyone to download, so be aware of copyright infringements. What you say will be ‘out there’ and can boomerang.
- 7. Tools for PODCAST production Write what you want to say!
- 9. Have your say with a conscience Whatever the reason or motive that may stir the notion of entering into the world of ‘communication’ because that’s basically what a recording or live podcast is all about. The need for building a professional approach to the preparation of the material or basis for the podcast is as important as are the tools or sharing methods. Creating material for class discussion and interaction should follow curricula guidelines and be engaging as well as relevant to the study topic as can be. Recording a voice/musical compilation that is not authored by you, should include the relevant credits within the podcast or related material. Think well by planning your content and knowing the final consumers of the content - prepare accordingly using appropriate language structures.
