English Language and Communication, Kingston University - The Use of Podcasts for Skills Development
This podcast application was developed within a level one module entitled ‘Introduction to Intercultural Communication’, a core module for students studying an undergraduate programme in English Language and Communication, at Kingston University. The purpose of using podcast was to help students develop study skills through collaborative learning. Six podcasts were developed. These podcasts were 10-minute audio files delivered via Blackboard VLE on a fortnightly basis. Each podcast consisted of a variety of elements: review of key concepts, interviews, conversations and discussion, and other resources by incorporating different voices from the lecturer, tutors, students and student mentors. These podcasts were developed using a combination of formal style (review of key concepts), and informal style (interviews, conversations and discussion). The lecturer is planning to reuse some of these podcasts, and made them available in the Faculty’s Academic Skills Centre for other students to use.
