Next semester, in Nazikian, Sato and Hamada’s classes, we will make a podcast. A podcast is a series of digital media files (audio/video) that are released via the Internet. In our Japanese class, we will make a podcast video by using various types of modality (voice tone, gesture, font color, font style, picture, etc). In order to see how the podcasts are like, watch some of the podcast videos that were created by our past students.
