Abstract

Basically, the design of podcast in electronic environments to develop English language skills is one of the innovative trends. Hence, the wide-spread of the technology-based learning is an endeavor due to the availability of mobile devices and smart phones of various types among students on campus. Yet, the dilemma lies in shortage of activating them to achieve the students’ academic factors. It is very difficult either for the lack of skills of the learners themselves or for the absence of teachers’ skills in designing and employing these technologies to benefit from them on the university campus. The difficulties are crystalized in the lack of specialists in educational technology, as it requires an understanding of design standards, models and strategies of teaching within these environments. For this goal, integration between research in such disciplines seems a must. regarding the weakness of academic skills among the students themselves, this may be due to students' preoccupation with technological tools that are not related to the development of their academic performance. Consequently, specialists from faculty members in universities should guide students to benefit from e-learning environments professionally and personally from such environments such as ubiquitous learning and podcasting for developing academic skills such as English language skills associated with speaking. The environment should be linked to improving user collaboration to interact with the provided content to achieve the greatest possible benefit from such environments in which the performance of learners must be documented.
