Podcast projects from English courses

Two exciting new podcast series have been created in Jeremy Hookway's English courses at Bremen University of Applied Sciences: “Serious Leisures” by leisure scientists and “TechBytes” by students from various computer science programs. Be sure to check them out!

In Serious Leisures, leisure scientists explore topics related to tourism and leisure—from travel destinations and VR excursions to backpacking, space tourism, and dopamine addiction. Listen to Serious Leisure now!

The podcast TechBytes, created by students of media informatics and the International Women's Studies Program in Computer Science, covers current topics in the tech world such as reverse engineering, intuitive design, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and ethical issues in dealing with AI.

Podcasts offer a creative and practical way to promote all language skills in foreign language teaching. By choosing their own topics, conducting research, writing scripts, and producing the podcast, students work independently and collaboratively on a real product. The entire process takes place in the target language, English, and not only leads to authentic learning outcomes, but also to a high degree of personal responsibility and pride in the final result. With the support of their English lecturer, students at Bremen University of Applied Sciences have developed two diverse podcast projects in English – this is where the magic happens!
