What if your ESL classroom could be a place where success feels automatic—and failure feels safe? In this episode of the Language Bridge Podcast, Dr. Giuseppe Chiaramonte shares five powerful strategies to transform your teaching environment into one where students naturally thrive.

From lowering the affective filter to designing small wins, from feedback that feels like coaching to building psychological safety, you’ll learn practical, classroom-tested techniques that help even the most hesitant learners find their voice.

Dr. Chiaramonte also shares a personal story of a student whose fear of making mistakes changed the way he approaches teaching forever—and how you can use that same mindset shift to empower your students.

Whether you’re a new teacher or a seasoned educator, this episode will give you tools to make participation the norm, boost confidence, and foster a love of learning in every student.
