Abstract

Podcasts, which are digital recordings, are a very popular technical tool for language learning, especially for English language learners. Podcasts are particularly appealing to the younger generation since they are flexible and allow learners to access language-learning materials at any time and from any location. By evaluating multiple journal articles released between 2013 and 2023, eighteen (18) papers were identified that meet the eligibility criteria for the study following the PRISMA 2020. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the benefits and drawbacks of using podcasts as a language learning method. The results show that podcasts can be a useful tool for enhancing motivation and language proficiency. Due to the lack of possibilities for critical analysis and evaluation, there are reservations about their usage in English language instruction.
