This article is devoted to studying the effectiveness of using podcasts in teaching English to master's students. The paper explores the concept of podcasting, its origin, and its features in the context of foreign language education. The author emphasizes that podcasts are primarily an audio format containing authentic speech samples, which can be used to develop both receptive and productive skills. It is noted that podcasts allow learners to independently choose the topic, pace, and format of study, which contributes to increased motivation and learner autonomy. The experimental part of the study was conducted among 30 second-year master's students at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. The participants were divided into two groups: experimental and control, with 15 students in each. Over the course of four weeks, the students in the experimental group listened to English-language podcasts three times a week and completed tasks aimed at developing listening and speaking skills.
