Podcasts for EL Students














When making a podcast for your class, it is essential for you to accommodate all your students and their learning levels. For example, if you have English Learning Students in your class it is crucial for you to include visual pictures and line them up with the topics being introduced to help represent what is being taught or spoken. Include background knowledge to tie in the new concepts with familiar concepts already known. You can also add subtitles to the podcast or have a print out available of the script (or notes) for the student(s) to follow along with. While recording the podcast, be sure to speak clearly and slowly. Be as descriptive as you can when you introduce new topics. Make sure to check for understanding after the podcast is over.
