Для развития аудитивных умений рекомендую использовать podcast.Что такое podcast? Podcast – это вид социального сервиса, позволяющий прослушивать, просматривать, создавать и распространять аудио- и видеопередачи во всемирной сети. В отличие от обычного телевидения или радио podcast позволяет прослушивать аудио-файлы и просматривать видеопередачи не в прямом эфире, а в любое удобное для пользователя время. Все, что необходимо, – это скачать выбранный файл на свой компьютер. Учащиеся могут, как прослушивать или просматривать podcasts, так и создавать свои собственные podcasts на любые темы. По длительности podcasts могут быть от нескольких минут до нескольких часов. В сети Интернет можно встретить как аутентичные podcasts, созданные для носителей языка (например, новости ВВС), так и учебные podcasts, созданные для учебных целей. Наиболее эффективный способ найти необходимый podcast – обратиться к директории podcast, выбрать интересующую категорию и просмотреть список podcasts, доступных к скачиванию. Для изучающих английский язык директория podcast размещена по адресу www.podomatic.com.
