This study will focus on how lessons can be supported through the medium of Podcasting. It will explain how Podcasting can broaden the learning experience of Japanese learners of German through the collaborative process of creating a recorded episode that has been generated by learners. The Podcast itself becomes the vehicle for learning, a reference and a tool for teaching. On an individual level, motivation is generated where greater self-knowledge is developed through the discovery of individual learning and working styles. As the project progresses, awareness is promoted through the discovery of strengths and weaknesses. This leads to self-monitoring whereby students find and adopt suitable strategies on which to build or find strategies to cope with their needs. As a result, learning abilities are broadened and advanced through the goal of completing the specific task. Motivation is further strengthened through responsibility towards members of the group. Though language ability, learning styles and working styles within the group may be varied, the task of developing a Podcast calls for a co-operative environment in order for the learning to be collaborative. The technology used for Podcasting is easy to use and is an effective language learning tool that allows for creativity and critical thinking. It is a resource that supports learning and can easily be incorporated into classroom activities.}, pages = {113--126}, title = {Didaktische Vorteile von Podcastproduktionen}, volume = {19}, year = {2011} }
