Choral, Popcorn, or Silent? Finding the Best Reading Strategy for ESL Learners
In this episode of The Language Bridge Podcast, Dr. Giuseppe Chiaramonte explores three powerful reading strategies every ESL teacher should have in their toolkit: choral reading, popcorn reading, and silent reading. Should your students chant in unison, read aloud one by one, or quietly absorb on their own? You’ll learn when and how to use each method effectively—plus a five-step post-reading reflection plan that boosts comprehension, vocabulary, and classroom engagement. Whether your students are beginners or building toward fluency, this episode helps you choose the right reading mode for the right moment.
