Abstract
Annotation: Listening comprehension is a fundamental component of language acquisition, particularly in military educational institutions, specifically in the military academic lyceums of “Temurbeklar Maktabi,” where English is taught as a Foreign Language (EFL). Integrating podcasts into English lessons enables learners to develop listening skills effectively in meaningful and practical contexts through authentic, engaging, and flexible audio materials. This article analyzes the theoretical foundations of podcast-based teaching, highlights the pedagogical advantages of developing listening and speaking skills, and discusses strategies for the effective use of podcasts in a military academic environment. The use of podcasts promotes learner autonomy, communicative competence, and motivation, aligning with contemporary language teaching principles.
