Sumario:In this paper, we intend to prove the validity of podcast as a self-learning tool for first-year students of English at the University of Salamanca. This shall help in checking whether additional work results in an improvement of students' oral comprehension. This has been assessed by using either Dialang software and Pretest/Postest design, the former being based on the Common European Framework of Reference for the Languages. This research shows that the teacher can influence on the choice of activities to be carried outside the fixed lecture time, by means such as promoting the use of podcasts, which has become a helpful tool for the improvement of students' oral comprehension.
