At the present stage of the development of the information society, the issues of the informatization of education acquire special significance. Every day more and more new information and communication technologies are being implemented in various spheres of human activity, including education. One such technology is video podcast, which the is described as a video file of a short length, recorded by teachers or professionally created, and distributed in digital format on the Internet. The main types of video podcasts and their classification in accordance with a number of parameters are reviewed: content orientation, segmentation, teaching methods and academic focus of the learning process. The factors that determine the advantages of using video podcasts in teaching a foreign language are cited. These include: the relevance of using video podcasts, the attitude of students to the use of video podcasts, the impact of using video podcasts on the process and the result of teaching. The didactic properties of video podcasts and their methodological functions are described. Didactic properties include: uploading to the video podcasts service in the Internet; the possibility of creating your own group in the social network “VKontakte” for posting podcasts and moderation; the ability to post and delete comments by users. These didactic properties have corresponding methodological functions: recording students video podcasts for educational purposes in a foreign language; creation of own group in a social network for posting video podcasts and their group discussion; moderation of the group in accordance with the preferences of students; individual work while creating and posting video podcasts and discussing them; limited availability of video podcasts for authorized group members.
