Podcasting

I found a podcast for learners of Spanish on StudySpanish.com. This podcast in particular is geared toward intermediate learners: http://www.notesinspanish.com/category/intermediate-spanish-podcast/. The dialogue was between a male student and a female teacher, which would make it easier for students to follow. It also continued at an appropriate pace for high school students and contained common vocabulary and expressions that they would be familiar with. The topic is very interesting and current as well. It dealt with the issue of immigration, specifically immigration in Spain and England. Immigration is a great topic to discuss, especially since it is a current issue. Also, many students automatically think about immigration and the United States, and they may not realize that other countries have issues concerning immigration as well. My only concern for this podcast is its length. Most high school students cannot pay attention to a dialogue in another language for over ten minutes; Usually two to four minutes is ideal, especially since they listen to each dialogue twice.
