Spotify for Creators

Principal function(s): Audio recordingStreaming/radio servicesGroup/pair work - classmatesIndividual workListeningSpeakingTeacherStudentYou Supply

Spotify for Creators is a podcast creation and edition platform owned by Spotify. Users can upload audio recordings to Spotify for Creators or record them straight away. While Spotify for Creators provides podcast creators with free hosting and publishing services, it monetises podcast listens. Evaluation: Spotify for Creators can be a valuable tool to engage students with a specific subject. A possible activity could be creating a class podcast or having students design together a podcast series in a specific language. The “Record With Friends” option allows users to create a podcast with up to five remote guests on their mobile devices, which could be a suitable option for group speaking activities. It is free to use and has many useful integrated functions. For podcasts less than 1 hour long, users can transcribe their recordings, which could be especially useful for learners at basic levels.

Cost: Free with registration.
