The research conducted showed that most students gave a positive impression of podcasts, particularly in listening ability; they argued that podcasts were able to contribute to their learning process. There are three types of podcasts that students have a tendency to listen to: conversation, monologue, and interview podcasts. Also, this research found that podcasts could not only affect and enhance students’ motivation but also flourish their English skills, including pronunciation and vocabulary. In contrast, while listening to podcasts, students often found it difficult to comprehend the sentences and what the speakers were talking about. This was occasionally caused by a lack of vocabulary and accent. What is more, the challenges came from the duration of podcasts. Students found that it was too long, which made them lazy to listen and made them feel bored and less interested.
