As a communicator, I think that conveying message not only depends on the language you use, but also relies on your body language, your emotion as well as interaction with the targeting audience. You should show your genuine passion towards the message receiver and strengthen your will to pass your information patiently, what kind of technique you will utilize does not that matter, as I see it.
Meanwhile, as an autonomous learner, it is crucial to keep your thought and methodology (here, I mean the logic of your analysis), no matter what influence you may be exposed to. It is great to get new information and new ways of thinking from the information giver, however you should keep in mind that it is you who select and judge the resources rather than being led by others blindly.
What I expect to learn from this pod-casting project are several things. Firstly, it is a good way to understand more about Japanese culture and language; secondly, we can learn how to communicate effectively in a foreign language; thirdly, it is helpful for students to experience or even create new forms of conveying message; last but not least, it is great to enhance friendship among classmates and learn how to cooperate in this project!!!
