It is a social network that includes tools such as Facebook, Twitter, blogs, podcasts, wiki, etc. We see the podcast as one of the ways how to motivate students to learn and improve their language skills. The paper analyses the use of the Web 2.0 tool podcast in teaching English and German languages and the impact of using podcasts on the considerable improvement of respondents' listening skills. In academic research, we intentionally used the quantitative method like controlled experiments and questionnaires. 218 respondents who studied the English language and 196 respondents who studied the German language attended the experiment. Respondents were randomly divided into experiment and control groups. The experiment was carried out during 13 weeks of the winter term. After analysing the input and output data achieved from the pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaire, we reached the conclusion that podcasts that are used as the support of traditional educational processes in the classroom can help students to significantly improve listening skills.  \nKeywords: podcast; listening skills; Web 2.0; information and communication technologies.  \nIntroduction  \nThe podcast is the tool of Web 2.0 which can be used as a part of education. It can help students to improve their listening skills, critical thinking, and motivate them to bury their heads in listening, i.e. to develop the taste for listening. Research studies into using podcasts in education have shown that podcasts have the potential to help to improve not only listening skills but also speaking skills. However, based on the analysis of the literature, we can see that the research on the using podcasts in education is ongoing but it isnot sufficient especially in researching the impact of podcasts on listening and speaking skills in English for specific purposes.  \nThe key issue of any education system is training professionals in a respected field (Ghritchenko, Nesterenko, 2016). The present society is strongly influenced by communication and information technology and the process of computerisation of society (Hrdličková, 2018) . Modern information and communication technology (ICT) brings new possibilities, approaches and the new concept of education. The web user is drowning in a tremendous amount of information and faces the problem of being overloaded with information due to the exponential growth for both the number of online available Web applications and the number of their users (Lotfy et al., 2016) . ICT has proved vital in the transformation of modern society, of the way people live, work and learn (Stanca, Felea, 2014) .  \nGiven that ownership of computers and smartphones has become a common feature of young people, it is understandable that these means have become a normal part of the learning process. The use of computers and smartphones, including various applications, in the learning process, is endless. It is widely accepted that information and communication technology (ICT) is used in medicine, science, engineering or agriculture. However, ICT is also applicable to the teaching of social and humanitarian subjects.  \nThere are various aspects of Internet resources that are aimed at practising and making improvements to lexical and grammatical knowledge for different levels of a foreign language. Attention is focused on good practice and the opportunity for live communication with native speakers that is more and more possible via the Internet.
