Nurbaiti Ali, Rizky Vita Losi, Virdyra Tasril, Amaral Aulia Rizki

Abstract


The expectation for mastering speaking and listening skills is still far off, and EFL students continue to encounter a number of issues related to inappropriate, unreliable, and non-availability of speaking and listening materials. The library research approach was used in this study. Studies on the benefits of podcasting for language learning, especially to help students with speaking and listening skills, have shown that students' speaking and listening abilities have improved. Podcasts are an effective teaching tool that can improve EFL students' speaking and listening skills because they provide authentic content, support self-regulated learning, increase dialect certainty, and create a dynamic learning environment.
