Language barrier is one of the main issues when Latvian students study foreign languages, as we are rather introvert people. So, here is one magic trick how to encourage speaking those students who are too shy to do it in the classroom.

THINGS YOU’LL NEED: Spreaker App, headphones and a mic for each group of students or for each student.

Share with your students a plan on OneNote of what their podcast should be about and what questions or issues they should discuss.

Let them cooperate and put down the text they are going to talk about.

Give a tip of creating a catchy title, finding the right music to accomplish their podcast and concluding with an interesting question to comment on.

And let them experiment with the radio console on spreaker.com. Then collect all the work and sway them.

However, me and my colleague have created our schools own radio platform where we collect podcasts from all the subject, as from English it has spread also to Math, History, Literature

Here you can listen to two my students’ podcasts about sports.
