RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Podcasts. Recurso didáctico de mejora en la comprensión oral de la lengua inglesa A1 Sánchez Manzano, María Jesús A1 Diego Amado, Carmen A1 Alonso Alonso, Ana A2 Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid K1 Filología Inglesa AB In this paper, we intend to prove the validity of podcast as a self-learning tool for first-year students of English at the University of Salamanca. This shall help in checking whether additional work results in an improvement of students' oral comprehension. This has been assessed by using either Dialang software and Pretest/Postest design, the former being based on the Common European Framework of Reference for the Languages. This research shows that the teacher can influence on the choice of activities to be carried outside the fixed lecture time, by means such as promoting the use of podcasts, which has become a helpful tool for the improvement of students' oral comprehension.
