Discussions Volume 1: AZ resource book of stimulating, thought-provoking topics with texts and related questions for ESL and EFL courses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781093370652)

Who's it for?
Intermediate and advanced classes of English (16+) as a foreign or second language (EFL, ESL), in any part of the world.

How does it work?
Students discuss questions, which are either in the form of a fun / factual quiz, or related to an authentic text / quotation.

What's new?
The questions and texts break with the approach typically used in ESL /EFL textbooks by presenting a new slant on some traditional topics, and also offering topics that have never been found before in a discussion book. Students will feel they are discussing something interesting, and that the language of discussion just happens to be in English.

How controversial are the discussions?
Unlike Volume 2 and Volume 3, this volume contains no particularly risky exercises in terms of subject matter.

What preparation is involved for the teacher?
In around 90% of the exercises, no preparation is required. Students simply turn to the right page, and away they go. Details are outlined in the Teachers Introduction and the Students Introduction.

What's the duration of a typical exercise?
Depending on the students' level of interest, some exercises can be used as 10-minute warm ups or lesson fillers, others may develop into full-blown 60-minute discussions.

What else do I need to know?
The table of contents indicates which exercises might not be suitable with certain classes, which require preparation by the teacher, and which have a key.
