ACTIVITIES
This lesson starts with a warm-up where students look at podcast-related statistics and comment on them. Then, they discuss questions about their experiences and points of view on podcasts. After that, students brainstorm words to complete gaps in some comments about podcasts. Next, they look at the words in the boxes and choose the best one for each gap. Following that, students choose comments and discuss to what extent they agree with them. Afterwards, they say what the article they read is about using the provided phrases (e.g. access new markets, authentic experience, AI-generated podcaster’s voice, etc.). Then, students discuss questions about podcasts translated by AI, authenticity, cultural impact, possible implications and other uses of AI for podcasters. Finally, they suppose they have decided to launch an AI-generated podcast and explain why some statements (e.g. AI will do it faster and cheaper than any human-led team would) would be true.
