I have been using these tools with my students in order to improve their speaking. I give them an English text and they have to record it during the week (It's a weekly activity). After that they bring the mp3 file to class and I correct it and they receive feedback. Later, the original audio of the text is given to them and they study to record again. They really enjoy it !!!

Audacity

http://audacityteam.org/

 

Audacity is free cross platform, open source software for recording and editing sound.

 

Great for recording students assessments. Students are motivated by end of unit recordings. It is free and is a great tool for teachers to listen back to performances when marking them.

Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers | United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

UNESCO has put out a publication, Media and Information Literacy, that “is pioneering for two reasons. First, it is forward looking, drawing on present trends toward the convergence of radio, television, Internet, newspapers, books, digital archives and libraries into one platform – thereby, for the first time, presenting MIL in a holistic manner. Second, it is specifically designed with teachers in mind and for integration into the formal teacher education system, thus launching a catalytic process which should reach and build capacities of millions of young people.”
