Abstract
This chapter focuses on the pedagogical and linguistic benefits that podcasting offers language learners in a world that is becoming increasingly centered around mobile technology. The huge growth in the number of mobile devices owned, the expansion of the mobile internet, and the development of cheaper ways to access online information offers both learners and instructors an ideal opportunity to access specifically prepared content whenever and wherever it is convenient for them to do so. Language learning should be much more than just acquiring knowledge in a traditional academic setting such as a classroom or within a tightly structured and controlled language course. Therefore, this chapter will conclude with a detailed analysis of how podcasting can empower learners to move away from traditional settings and attitudes to language acquisition by individualizing the learning process.
