Listen "Teaching English Through Movement: ESL Strategies for PE Teachers"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Language Bridge Podcast, Dr. Giuseppe Chiaramonte explores how Physical Education teachers at the primary and secondary levels can support English language learners through movement-based activities. Drawing on language acquisition theory like Total Physical Response (TPR), Giuseppe shares practical classroom strategies from action games and equipment vocabulary in primary PE to peer coaching and fitness journals in secondary PE.
Whether you’re a PE teacher or an ESL educator looking to collaborate, you’ll discover how sports, teamwork, and simple language chunks can help students build confidence in English without interrupting the flow of physical activity. Because in the gym, just like in the classroom, every teacher is a language teacher.
