I am not very sure whether disclaimers are permitted in a volume of scholarly papers. And yet, disclaimers have a way of getting into the lived experience of some academicians, especially those who teach language and literature. We get to listen to unspoken disclaimers from students in the English language classroom, for example, when we ask questions. The unspoken has a particular narrative force for it puts our question under erasure. The disclaimer is written over in the language teacher’s classroom. There are different kinds of disclaimers like the one I make when I say that I am not an ELT specialist. It is quite possible to explain the potential of disclaimers and invest them with meaning. I build my disclaimer on the claim that I am not a language specialist in that sense and I do not have any formal training in the teaching and learning of English. My disclaimer that I am not an English Language Teaching specialist rests, perhaps paradoxically, on the claim that I am an English teacher. Disclaimers sometimes are followed by confessions. I never studied ELT or even ESP for that matter. I am aware of the possibility that my disclaimer could find some space alongside the disquisitions of those colleagues trained in ELT and ESP.","PeriodicalId":205934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the faculty of Education","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131612892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Selection and Evaluation of Podcasts in Teaching Listening Comprehension","authors":"Adanech Zemede Woldemariam","doi":"10.60037/edu.v1i17.1186","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.60037/edu.v1i17.1186","url":null,"abstract":"Listening is a core skill for the learners in English as a second/foreign language (EFL/ESL) contexts, and that needs to be improved through practice. However, EFL/ESL learners listen to their English teachers’ voices only. Consequently, learners have difficulty while they listen to English native speakers; reasons may vary from learner to another. Learners have difficulty in listening either on the speakers’ accent, speed, topic, the length of the texts, or other problems. Thus, listening to audio podcasts through repetition help the learners solve such problems and make the learners listen to the texts leisurely in their pace and to improve listening skills independently. There are numerous English podcasts published on the internet and designed for both teachers and learners. For example, BBC learn English, VoA learn English, British council learn English, EFL podcasts, Podcasts in English (Pie), and English Listening Lesson Library Online (ELLLO). All these resources offer an opportunity to practice and develop the listening skills. However, selecting listening materials for class use will be crucial. Therefore, to select and evaluate an effective text from internet, some criteria are needed. Thus, the current paper intends to present three intermediate level audio podcasts as a sample from each of the three online podcasts (ELLLO, BBC: six minutes learn English, and British council: Learn English) based on the selection and evaluation criteria adapted from experts in the field. Accordingly, ELLLO has very good audio podcasts for teaching and learning English at EFL/ESL contexts than BBC and British council audio podcasts. Moreover, teachers can use them directly without adapting the listening texts, and they are good resources to enhance learners’ language proficiency, communication, and listening micro-skills.

The history of English language teaching reveals that teachers and academicians have always been in search of innovative methodologies and curriculum designs. The reason was to find a solution to the problems encountered in their respective classrooms. English has emerged as the language of trade, economic growth and social mobility and this outlook has in fact made English language a necessity in present times. Indian education system has laid great importance to teaching and learning of English right from school itself. It is observed that it poses no such problems at the metropolitian level but poses a great struggle in rural areas. This is because, the population living in Indian villages lack the facility of technological innovation and supportive context. It becomes quite essential that novel styles and strategies of innovative teaching practices should be introduced. This paper examines various innovative tools and strategies of English language teaching which can be implemented in teaching English as a second language. It further examines the challenges faced by the teachers and learners. Today, things have become quite easier with the advancement of science and technology but it is the implementation of appropriate strategy which could make teaching and learning quite innovative.","PeriodicalId":205934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the faculty of Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124673814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
