Digital recording for the EFL classroom

Would you like to create tailor-made listening materials for your EFL digital classroom for free? Whether you are techno savvy or techno novice, you will discover how “Audacity” can make your life easier and your language classes more challenging. This paper is divided into three main sections. The fist one provides a step-by-step guidance on performing common tasks using Audacity; the second one will show how the programme helps teachers to optimise their listening lessons and the different types of activities that can be carried out in the EFL class; and the third one will cover the description of an activity carried out with students of English at the University of Valladolid.
