This presentation will explore the impact of student-produced podcasts on affective engagement in a university English as a Foreign Language (EFL) course. The project involves students creating their own podcasts, which provides a unique opportunity for them to apply their language skills in a creative and authentic context. The presentation will highlight the results of a questionnaire administered to students to assess their perceived affective engagement in the project.

The questionnaire data reveal the students' perceptions of the impact of podcast production on their language learning, including their motivation, confidence, and autonomous learning. The presentation will also examine the role of the classroom methodology, specifically the procedures and techniques used in the project, on student affective engagement.

Additionally, the presentation will provide insights into the challenges and solutions encountered during the implementation of the project, such as technical difficulties and assessment considerations. It will also highlight the pedagogical benefits of using podcast production as a teaching tool, including the development of intercultural communicative competence and learner autonomy.
