Abstract:
The modern information and communication technique made possible the big changes in education during the last years. A considerable number of new pieces of information makes higher demands on the level of education at the same time. And that is why new forms, methods and means are searched in the ways how to hand over as much information as possible.
The paper is focused on work with audio records made by a native speaker in German language teaching on the Faculty of Informatics and Management. For this aim we use original records which we acquire with the method of podcasting which is very useful for automatic searches on web sites chosen by the instructor. Audio records are determined to be used within the face-to-face lessons as well as to individual work with on-line courses of German language. These records are very popular among students, because they make them more familiar with the speech of a native speaker and various topics connected either to a professional language or a common life.
