Abstract

Students are now expected to be able to develop the skills to use 21st century skills more than ever before, and to use them in English. However, the average university EFL student in Japan has limited English language skills or access to ICT in their education. Podcasting technology, relatively unknown in Japan, appears to offer great potential for improvements in the kinds of skills that will be in demand as students graduate into the workplace. This chapter examines the educational current situation in Japan and describes three different studies on the use of podcasts with university students.
