| Abstract | This study was an action research project designed to analyze the impact of student-generated podcasts on the development of speaking skills. The participants were sixth-grade students from Jesus Rey School, Medellin. The data was collected through classroom observations, interviews, and students’ work, which consisted of preparing, recording, and assessing three scripted student-generated podcasts. Results showed a positive impact of podcasts on students’ development of vocabulary and sentence structure and a minor impact on students’ pronunciation. The study is still a work in progress, it requires a greater span of time for its implementation in order to see improvement in its objectives. However, it does provide ideas and suggestion for further research. |
