The present study aimed at improving EFL adult learners’ speaking skills through listening to different podcasts related to the program they are having. To achieve this aim, a podcasting program of instruction was developed. The program integrated listening, speaking and technology. This program was used to guide the instruction of the proposed podcasting activities according to its stages and sub-stage. Different listening and speaking techniques such as weblogs, listening tracks, multimedia reflective activities, etc. were incorporated in the program. In the light of the results of the study, the researcher recommended that the proposed podcasting model proved to be effective in developing EFL adult learners’ speaking skills. The researcher also suggested designing other podcasting content programs for developing other language skills than speaking. (Published abstract)
