Training & Events

Teaching Learners how to become effective listeners

Dr. Gianfranco Conti will introduce a process-based approach to teaching listening and reading, which he discussed in his best-selling book *“Breaking the Sound Barrier: Teaching Learners How to Listen”* (Conti & Smith, 2019). Based on cognitive research, this method combines both implicit and explicit teaching, and unlike traditional approaches, it focuses on building listening and reading skills from the bottom up rather than the top down.

Dr. Conti will introduce a variety of practical techniques and activities that can be used with learners of all ages and abilities.
Dr. Gianfranco Conti is an experienced language teacher, researcher, book writer and expert in language acquisition and pedagogy. He is a speaker and trainer, having authored several educational books. Dr. Conti co-founded the “Language Gym” website, which provides resources for language teachers. His work is widely used in teacher training programs, helping educators adopt practical strategies that improve student outcomes in language acquisition.
