Abstract

This paper aims to conduct research concerning some basic cognitive constructivist approaches in language learning, in this particular, English as a foreign language. On the focus are the English Language Department Students. The main focus of this study is Object Performance (OP), which uses Podcasting as the main resource. Furthermore, after an in-depth analytical approach to the use of podcasting in language learning, it aims to unveil some of the main students’ cognitive activities, related to the podcast content and facts, as seen from the object performance perspective, which helps them recall the previous empirical knowledge content and facts by linking them to those conveyed by the podcasting content. Such an analysis between the two types of processed content results in a strong impact on structuring ‘a new blended knowledge with the students’ in both oral and written language productivity. It has also been proven that this cognitive approach is a real spin of knowledge that strengthens their overall communication in English as a foreign language.
