Listen Later

How do we guide without taking control? In this episode, we explore the art and science of scaffolding — the subtle, powerful balance between support and independence in language learning. From Vygotsky’s theories to modern classroom practices, we uncover how teachers can lift students higher without carrying them. Thought-provoking, reflective, and full of classroom wisdom, this episode redefines what it means to help your students — without holding them back.
