Abstract

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the use of podcasts as a didactic resource in the improvement of oral expression and creative writing skills in ninth grade students of the Instituto Pedagógico de Maicao, in Colombia. For this purpose, at the methodological level, a qualitative and action-research type of research was implemented. The sample was limited to 40 students, under a purposive sampling. Instruments used were field diary, questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The analysis included a main variable (use of the podcast as a didactic tool) and a series of analysis categories. The results indicated that there was an important change in writing and orality, which were reflected in the production of eight podcast episodes. It was concluded that after applying the strategy, they noticed a significant change in their communicative competencies, as they knew how to articulate ideas and make efficient use of technological tools.
