John DePonte teaches for the CUNY Language Immersion Program (CLIP) at Bronx Community College. He’s an exceptional educator with a broad knowledge of his subject matter and thoughtful and effective pedagogy. This is a great podcast for anyone interested in ESL instruction and/or language learning. We talk about John’s teaching method; language learning, which includes various tips and tricks; and his website (link below).
