Abstract

Most of the EFL learners faced problems delivering ideas to other people, especially in discussion sessions. They need guidance to fix their flaws. Instructional podcasts can be a valuable resource for enhancing speaking abilities, especially in conducting debate. By manipulating the content of the podcasts, educators can create engaging and interactive speaking activities that promote language production and fluency. Whether it is through guided discussion, interactive tasks, or role-playing activities, instructional podcasts provide students with the opportunity to practice their speaking skills in a meaningful and enjoyable way. By incorporating these strategies into language learning curricula, educators can empower students to become confident and proficient speakers. Through the exposure of some perspectives and the adaptation of a qualitative method for using podcast materials to enhance the students’ success in discussion, it can be concluded that the students’ abilities in delivering ideas are developed in discussion sessions. This kind of finding is beneficial for teachers teaching-related subjects. It also inspires other researchers to observe related topics.
