The articles from week  three share interesting information about how podcast can be useful for  ESL learners  and how and can change teaching as students begin to listen not only music, adding  learning materials that they are integrated.

The article mentioned that podcast is new but, language teachers are beginning to see that is potential and useful too not only as excellent means for distributing audios in class out of class activity. With the use of podcast the students can performance their listening skill because are conversations that are presented twice and can explained and share opinions about new words or phrases.

Now, the podcast in an ESL as  listening strategies is that they allow to learners with an MP3 player choose and listen individual episodes and is actually created for many purposes in the education. Something very important is that podcast have more time in classes, there the student can practice and spend more free time working with the new learning concepts covered in class. Other point is that the learner is able to listen different types of spoken English since other spokes on the podcast that have different and heavier accents than other in where some of them are native or international speakers.

Something very important that I want to remember as a future teacher is attitude and the application that teacher gave to the student and during the podcast the teacher will discuss how they felt using a podcast and how they interact with that.
