The study was implemented through the use of a mobile application named Podbean which gave students the chance to upload their podcasts and reflect on. The collected data was analyzed using the SPSS version 20 by descriptive statistics, Related Samples Wilcoxon Signed Ranking test was employed to compare the results of the pre-test and post-test. The results indicated that the students’ performance in the post-test had really improved compared to the pre-test and the students’ perceptions were mostly positive regarding the use of oral reflections.
