Listen "Themed Listening Workouts: Breaking the Silo with Progressive Listening"
Episode Synopsis
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.
