Using Podcasts in the EFL/ESL Classroom

jesustrujillo4 — 2025-08-09 22:02:57 UTC

Listening to podcasts about one's native language (L1) learning is beneficial for enhancing comprehension, vocabulary, and overall language skills. It provides exposure to natural speech patterns, diverse accents, and contextual language use, which can be particularly helpful for learners who may be struggling with specific aspects of their L1 or for those who want to refine their existing skills.

The sandwich strategy in language learning

jesustrujillo4 — 2025-08-09 22:17:44 UTC

The sandwich strategy in language learning involves embedding the learner's native language (L1) within the target language (L2) to enhance comprehension and retention. This technique can be applied in various ways, such as providing a direct translation of a new L2 word or phrase immediately after its introduction, or structuring lessons to alternate between L1 and L2.

Giving feedback to anguage learners

The most common form of feedback in language classes is probably error correction (corrective feedback), where the objective is usually to facilitate improvements in a learner’s accuracy; but feedback in this paper is understood more broadly. Its three fundamental and interrelated purposes are:

• improving the fluency, accuracy or complexity of learners’ speaking and writing.

• motivating learners, and developing learner autonomy.
