The research instruments used were speaking test. The data collection in this research was done by testing the French-speaking skills of 2nd-semester students. From the analysis, it can be concluded that the use of podcast significantly improved students' vocabulary acquisition and speaking skills in the Production Orale Intermédiaire course. Students who used podcasts experienced improvements in vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, and the ability to use words in appropriate contexts. In addition, podcast media is easy to use and it improves speaking competence, especially in terms of pronunciation and applying the proper intonation when they speak. This also increases learning concentration, and it can be used as an introductory medium for learning French, especially in online classes. The negative responses were (1) the duration of the material explanation in the podcast was too long, (2) it was a little challenging to understand the learning material because it only relied on sound. This study recommends that schools can utilize podcast learning media as digital learning media to support teaching and learning activities to improve students' speaking skills.
