Abstract: The article conveys the aspects of integrating audio- and videopodcasts into teaching practice and their role in developing pre-service teachers’ professional competence. Most pre-service teachers are often incapable to hold their own independent practice and to apply gained theoretical knowledge to practice. Such problems are solved with the help of methodological podcasts containing the authentic learning-teaching environment and methodological recommendations on teaching practice made by in-service teachers, experienced educators and educational experts. Use of casts helps to form professional competence and self-efficacy of the pre-service teachers.
Key words: foreign language teaching, cyberspace technologies, Internet resource, authentic podcast, pre-service teachers, self-efficacy, professional competence.
