METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK 
The methodology of research approaches allows broadening understanding of the methodological concept and 
essence of using the podcasts in language learning, its advantages and features, the application in practice. 
The leading method to the study of this problem is the study of the theoretical sources of educational and methodical 
literature on the subject. 
RESULTS 
Today one of the important principles of learning stated the principle of interactivity, which means the ability to 
communicate effectively in a spirit of cooperation. And that information technology is the best promote the 
realization of this principle. Among the large number of innovative educational technologies we would like to dwell 
on one of them, called the technology of podcasting. The term "podcasting" has appeared due to the combination of 
two words «IPod» (English - Of mp3 player company Apple) and «broadcasting» (English - TV, broadcasting). The 
New Oxford Dictionary of American English podcasting is defined as a digital recording of broadcast or similar 
program, available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player [3]. However, to play podcasts iPod is 
not obligatory. Podcasting is the process of creating audio files or video files called podcasts and distributed free of 
charge on the Internet. The word "podcast" combines two English words - "iPod" and "broadcast" (radio). Required 
podcast can be downloaded to a computer or mobile phone in MP3 format. To find podcasts of interest subjects, 
please refer to the podcast directories that are on certain websites. 
Service of podcasts allows students to listen and view posted on the Internet podcasts and to record and place on one 
of the servers their own podcasts on any topic. The most popular is the podcast server YouTube. On YouTube every 
registered user can post his or her video podcast, browse other podcasts posted on the service, as well as participate 
in discussing/ commenting podcasts in micro-blogs. With regard to educational podcasts available for free 
download, the most famous and popular directory is available at www.bbc.co.uk. The main value of these podcasts 
is their authenticity, making the learning process more effective. It is well known that fluency in a foreign language 
means, including the ability to understand authentic speech at the hearing, in response to the proposed 
communication situation. Thus, students can listen to the real voice of native speakers, which develops the skills of 
perception and understanding of foreign speech by ear and improves pronunciation skills. Working with the 
podcasts helps to get used to fluent English speech, immersing the student in a foreign language environment. 
Another advantage of the above-mentioned educational podcasts is to highlight the most relevant topics that perform 
along with educational and even educational function. Then, consider the opportunities offered by using the method 
of podcasts. Undoubtedly, this technique provides unlimited possibilities for all those wishing to improve their 
knowledge of a foreign language. Using podcasts carries the whole process of learning a completely new dimension, 
offering ample opportunities for creative realization of both teachers and their students. With podcasts, you can not 
only develop students' ability to perceive foreign language speech at the hearing, but also to form and develop 
phonetic skills grammatical skills and enrich their vocabulary and develop the skills monologue speech and writing. 
Thus, the teacher can solve various problems of training, resorting to the use of educational podcasts. Nowadays, 
much attention is paid to the formation in the intercultural competence of the students, which means students get 
acquainted with the regional geographic realities of the country of studied language that includes speech etiquette in 
real communication situations, cultures and traditions of the people living in the country of the target language. This 
task can easily cope technique of using podcasts as Internet Audio Texts easy to find on any subject, including 
cross-cultural and intercultural subjects. In this case, the main advantage of the use of podcasts is to create the 
atmosphere of foreign language communication in class. Using podcast brings variety to the learning process,
