Audacity is a very popular audio recorder/editor, mainly because it is free and fairly easy to use. The use of teacher and student-created audio in the field of ESL is increasing. This tool allows for the cleaning up of audio files. In fact, there is already a lot of information about Audacity on the Internet. You just need to type Audacity in a web search engine or even into Youtube. Teachers can use Audacity to edit additional listening practice for their students to use in class or for posting audio files on a webpage, blog, or social network. In addition, students can use Audacity to record interviews with people, to record conversations to hand in as homework, or to post on blogs or social networks for other people to view and comment on. The uses of audio in teaching/learning ESL will be discussed in more detail in a future post.
