Description

In this kickoff to our Listening Series, Dr. Giuseppe Chiaramonte dives into how ESL learners actually process what they hear—and why listening deserves just as much attention as speaking in the language classroom. Discover the key differences between bottom-up, top-down, and interactive processing, and learn how these listening strategies can empower your students to become more effective communicators. Packed with research-based insights and classroom-ready tips, this episode helps you teach listening with intention, not just as background noise.
