Podcasts: learning using technology





Dear all,


today I'm gonna talk about podcasts. We have been asked finding, at least, three mp3 files we found useful in improving our listening skills. First of all searching these websites was a very hard work for me because I never entered such sites! After long hours here's what I found and what I'm glad to share with you all:





As you can see clicking on the links above, I was mainly interested in business conversations because of the lack of information I have in this field. To be more precise the first two sites are a sort of on-line guide conceived for helping learners of English as a second language; here you find great suggestions to face some typical business situations properly, such as talkig about your business in the future and placing a business order. My list ends with a link to an interesting website dealing with news in English; it provides simple, daily news casts in order to improve lerners' listening skills.

I'm always discovering new things and podcast is probably the best tool I learned so far: audio files are excellent in helping who need correcting prononciation and comprehension. Don't you think so?

Peers I'm waiting for all your comments!

See you,
