A Multilingual Approach to Podcasting for Teaching
and Learning Foreign Languages
The German‑Italian Podcast Überall Konfetti
Abstract
The use of multilingual resources for foreign language learning has received increasing attention in recent years. This article presents a podcast project called Überall Konfetti – Il podcast italo‑tedesco che non ti aspetti, which incorporates both Italian and German in order to develop receptive language skills, while simultaneously providing socially relevant content. We then explore the reception of the podcast by means of a qualitative small group study conducted with students with different first languages. We finally provide a summary of the findings, discuss their pedagogical implications, and identify potential directions for further research.
