Using audio
Why? What?
You can learn from listening and it can be fun! Study by listening to
- summaries from course material
- revision points or notes
- vocabulary for your language course
- your tutor clarifying a difficult concept
- another student explaining a topic.
You can record yourself talking through summaries of course materials or revision notes. You could record your tutor at a tutorial, or another student at a self help study group, but remember to ask permission first.
Where?
Listen to the recording when you are
- at home – gardening, cleaning, putting up shelves
- travelling – in the car, on the bus or train
- exercising – running, walking, or on a gym machine.
Options
Consider
- what needs to be done before you start recording
- what you’re using the recording for – it's important to suit both the audience and the purpose
- a personal reminder can be recorded at lower quality than if you are sharing a file with others
- do you want the audio material in lots of small sections, or do you want to cover a topic in a large block?
There are several options for recording voices, so have a look through and see which will suit you best. You may wish to try one or more of the following.
