Are your students really listening—or just sitting in silos with their headphones on? In this episode of the Language Bridge Podcast, Dr. Giuseppe Chiaramonte introduces Themed Listening Workouts, a progressive strategy that scaffolds listening practice across beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels while transforming it into a social, interactive experience. You’ll learn how to:✅ Move beyond isolated headphone work to whole-class and small-group listening.✅ Create engaging “listening workouts” that recycle the same topic at different levels.✅ Incorporate classroom podcast time where students engage in unstructured conversations about what they’ve heard.✅ Use stories (like a true crime podcast) to spark curiosity, critical thinking, and real communication. 🎧 Tune in to discover how to make listening a community experience in your classroom.
