Audio Tools

Audio tools are the devices which help us to record and create audio stories. There are many areas which we can use audio tools. For example, we can record a radio program, an interview, and songs. As it is easy to use, we make use of audio tools in education, as well. Listening and speaking activities are very useful for language learning. Audio tools can be used for improving listening and speaking competencies.

An example case scenario: Mr. Brown is giving Oral Communication course for freshman in FLE Department. He wants his students to master their speaking and listening skills as much as possible. He decides to use Audioboom and wants to his students prepare five minutes radio program for each week. Then, the students listen the radio programs which are prepared by their friends and comment upon it. So that, they improve their listening, speaking and to some extent their writing skills. Thanks to this activity, the students play an active role in their learning process during the semester.
