About this listen
In this episode of Language Bridge Podcast, Dr. Giuseppe Chiaramonte shares real-world strategies to help Science teachers at both the elementary and secondary levels make English the language of discovery.
Learn how to build academic vocabulary through curiosity-driven lessons, transform experiments into communication opportunities, and use practical scaffolds like “I Notice, I Wonder” questioning and structured sentence frames.
Dr. Chiaramonte explores how simple routines — journaling in English, describing observations, and engaging in reflective dialogue — can help students not just understand science, but speak it with confidence.
Key Takeaways:
- Use curiosity as a natural entry point for English communication.
- Integrate vocabulary and speaking practice into every experiment.
- Scaffold complex ideas with repeatable language patterns.
- Empower students to describe, question, and explain in English.
