Using Podcast in English language class

Listening to podcast is one of my favorite ways to learn the language. When I go jogging, I prefer listening to podcast to listening to music. I usually pay more attention to what is said on the podcast so I forget about how tired I am jogging. As the result, I could jog more distance.

However, podcast is not just good for distracting my jogging but it is also one great way to learn the language. So I think I can try using it in my classroom as well.

Let's try this podcast:

This cast is about "Learning to Act".
Note: Thai students at this age are so interested in reality competition show like "The Voice", "The Stars", and "Thailand's Got Talent". So vocabularies from this dialogue will definitely catch their interest and be useful.

My students' level: Grade 10-12 (Thailand)
English Skill: lower intermediate


Activities to apply with this podcast are:
1. Listen and fill in the blank
2. List the vocabulary and useful phrases and match with the meaning
3. Role-play activity
