Introduction:
In the educational practice of developed
countries, a number of scientific studies are being
conducted on the widespread use of information
resources, the digitalization of methodological
programs, innovative methods in teaching a series of
English language courses, methods of using interactive
software models, and their effectiveness. The study of
methodological approaches aimed at expanding
students' linguistic competence in future foreign
language acquisition, and the task of refining these
methodologies based on the specific characteristics of
the subject, are of particular importance. In this regard,
there is a need to improve and implement technologies
for the development of students' professional auditory
competence.
In our republic, the issues of teaching students the
development of auditory competence in the
educational process have been studied in the scientific
research of L.T.Akhmedova, J.J.Jalolov, I.Tukhtasinov,
T.Sattorov,
U.Khoshimov,
D.Khoshimova,

Today, listening, as a form of speech activity, plays an
important role in the process of real communication.
"In modern society, 45% of people listen, 30% speak,
16% read, 9% write. Consequently, an integral part of
oral speech is hearing and listening (auditory activity).
Auditory is the process of active speech thinking,
characterized by the understanding and interpretation
of the transmitted sound message, and this perception
is based on the recipient's motives associated with
mobility. The formation of auditory competence as a
field of methodology is considered the most complex
scientific direction. However, the development of
students' auditory competence with the help of
podcasts is an important task. Therefore, we should
first understand the concept of a podcast when
developing content through podcasts.

A podcast
is an Internet network using programming
technology, delivered to a subscriber through an
episodic series. The creator and host of podcasts
generates programs by placing episodes of audio and
video files on the web server. A podcast is a type of
audio content that has gained popularity in the last
decade. The term was coined by journalist Ben
Hammersley, who called it broadcasting (Eng.
broadcasting) and iPod (Apple audio player). The most
common form of the program is a conversation
between several people.
A podcast is a series of audio recordings similar to radio
programs. The content of the podcast is created by
hosts and guest characters or experts. The topic can be
anything - from politics and entrepreneurship to
knitting threads and making pizza. Real events are
analyzed in documentaries, and stories are told in
feature films. According to S.M. Samarskaya's
definition, the term "podcast" is a combination of the
terms pod (Apple iPod media player) and broadcast
(radio broadcasting, television broadcasting). Thus,
podcasts are a series of digital audio and video
recordings uploaded to the Internet using a podcatcher
program such as iTunes”
As a working definition of a podcast, we accept the
following definition: "Podcasting (podcast) is an audio
or video recording created by any person and available
for listening or viewing on global networks." Studies
have emphasized that videocasting is a type of
podcasting in the form of a video file distributed in
digital format via the Internet using a personal
computer or mobile phone to develop students' speech
skills through videocasts. E.Yu. Malushko gives the
following definition of a podcast: "a podcast is an audio
or video file that is distributed free of charge through
the Internet for public listening or viewing."
Podcasting allows for the formation of four types of
speech activity in students within the framework of
listening:..."understanding oral text, understanding
written text, written speech, oral speech." According to
V.V. Nikolaeva, podcasting is an effective technology,
as about 45% of people listen to it. Thus, through
podcasts, you can create lessons for organizations, in
which the student turns to active speech-thinking
activity, which is presented sequentially and in parallel
with the processes of perception and understanding of
oral speech. The podcast is conducted according to the
method of presenting the content (Figure 1)
Documentary films. An analogue of a
simple documentary program with one or
more presenters may include an
interview or old recordings
Artistic. These podcasts are analogous to
audio performances, in which one author
or several people read the voice roles.
Dialogue. The most popular thing is
because it's improvisation
Talking alone in the format is quite
difficult. Usually there are two or three
presenters behind the microphones
Monologue. It requires the simplest, but
well-thought-out, scenario. Usually, the
author is an expert on a particular topic
and reveals it to the listener.

We can conclude based on these definitions that
podcasting is a relevant Internet technology used in
teaching foreign languages, combining the advantages
of radio and the Internet. Thus, video casting can be
described as a modern new technology used in
teaching English, combining the advantages of

television and the Internet. Podcasts should be used
regularly during lessons or in the process of
independent work, since their non-regular use cannot
be effective.
A videocast is a podcast with a video sequence, which
can also be used as a listening device, but the image
helps to understand English speech." An example of
foreign experience in using the podcasting method is
the Pimsler method. Comparison of the technical
characteristics of podcasting and videocasts allowed us
to draw a number of specific conclusions about the
didactic potential of podcasting and videocasting, that
is, their methodological tasks in foreign language
teaching: Z.R. Karimova showed their similarities and
differences in the process of comparing podcasts and
videocasts in students (Fig. 1). (1-
rаsm).

Figure 2. Step-by-step podcast application process
1) The topic is selected. Often, podcasts are created by
experts in a particular field, and brands select useful
information for potential clients. For example, their
textbooks might be about animal food producers,
zoopsychology, and rules for keeping pets.
2) Format determination. You can record alone, find
the host, or regularly invite guests.
3) Writing a scenario. For each publication, it will be
necessary to draw up a plan and collect materials. Even
improvisational shows require at least an approximate
script.
4) Sound recording. This can be done at home using a
microphone. But if you record it in the studio, the
material will be better.
5) Installation. Any recording needs to be edited - it
needs to be cleaned of foreign sounds, long pauses, and
unsuccessful moments.
6) Loading. The finished material must be placed on
special platforms.
7) Promotion. You need to advertise the show so that
the audience knows about it.
In conclusion, working with podcasts has many
advantages for teaching a foreign language. In the
course of the study, the following positive features of
podcasts can be highlighted:
1) during the listening process, you can safely pause the
audio and video recording, as well as change its speed,
which allows you to return to the material at any time,
and also repeat it in a way that is understandable to
you.
2) English-language podcasts help teach listening and
speaking skills. The reader can stop recording at any
time and change the speed to listen to and speak a
segment that is unclear to them. Thus, they have the
opportunity to solve phonetic problems that arise in
the process of listening.
3) any podcast can be listened to in the background
while doing homework, moving around the city, and
doing housework, which allows you to immerse
yourself in an English-speaking environment and give
the process of learning English a daily character.
4) working with English-language podcasts allows the
reader to significantly increase their vocabulary by
listening to thematic podcasts, which allows them to
learn a new word in the most natural way through
anticipation and language prediction.
5) working with podcasts corresponds to any level of
English language proficiency. There are many podcasts
that allow those who have achieved great success in
developing their communicative, auditory, and speech
abilities to master the language.
6) interaction with podcasts allows for a significant
expansion of students' worldview. As mentioned

above, the availability of numerous podcasts on various
topics allows for significant progress in understanding
a specific topic discussed within the program through
listening.
