This article examines the influence of using educational podcasts on listening comprehension and vocabulary
acquisition among English as a foreign language learner at the secondary school level. Adopting a quasi-experimental
design, learners were randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control. The experimental group received
carefully selected podcast episodes used over a period of six weeks, while the control group followed a traditional coursebook-
based curriculum. The findings revealed that learning English through podcasts significantly improved learners’
listening comprehension and helped them acquire new vocabulary when the podcasts were contextualized as a coherent
learning project with pre-listening and post-listening exercises
