À propos de ce contenu audio

 Welcome to Comprehend THIS!, the podcast for language teachers who are tired of the same old textbook chatter and want the real talk instead. Every episode is like pulling up a chair in the copy room or leaning on the hallway wall at your favorite conference — except it’s not awkward, the coffee’s better (yours, not mine), and nobody’s grading you. Host Scott Benedict sits down with 1–2 guests — teachers, trainers, authors, CI rebels — to swap stories about what actually works in a comprehension-based classroom. We talk the good, the weird, the messy middle — first wins, facepalms, reading that actually sticks, grammar without drills, surviving department side-eyes, grading for real proficiency (without losing your mind), and everything in between. It’s casual. It’s honest. It’s LIVE — so you get all the “did they just say that?” moments, unfiltered. Pull up your favorite mug. Laugh, nod along, steal an idea or two for Monday, and remember: you’re not the only one doing it different — and doing it better. Watch LIVE: Sunday mornings at 8am Pacific / 11am Eastern, on YouTube at youtube.com/@immediateimmersion — or listen soon after on your favorite podcast app. Comprehend THIS! — Real talk for real teachers. Ditch the drills. Trust the process. Stay human.Immediate Immersion Apprentissage des langues Science Sciences sociales

      Episode 17: “What If They’re Too Comfortable?” — Managing Chill Without Losing Control
      Jan 11 2026

      When a CI classroom gets too comfortable, strong community can quietly slide into chaos—and managing chill without losing control is a skill every language teacher needs.

      In this episode of Comprehend THIS!, we unpack how to reset expectations, hold boundaries, and lead with warmth and authority—without becoming the fun police or killing classroom morale.

      Episode 16: “CI and the Quiet Kid: Are They Even Getting It?”
      Jan 4 2026

      Silence in the CI classroom doesn’t mean disengagement, apathy, or failure—it often means processing, and today we’re unpacking what that really looks like.

      Before you panic, take the CI Proficiency Quiz and see where you land at https://imim.us/ciquiz.

      In this episode of Comprehend THIS!, we talk about quiet students, trusting input over output, subtle comprehension checks, and why participation doesn’t have to be loud to be real—with plenty of teacher honesty and sarcasm included.

      Need practical support? The CI Survival Kit has your back with ready-to-use resources at https://imim.us/kit.
