|
|
My searches are getting me far too general results. What I'm looking for is some website that has a list of free-talking topics for ADULTS with questions for each topic. I used to have access to a book with 40, or so, discussion topics with about 25 or 30 questions for each topic. It made it much easier to lead a class. Does anyone know of any convenient sites? |

that's a great site kangnamdragon.
it's not a website, but cambridge publishes conversation books for intermediate and advanced levels called Discussions A-Z.
i have received overwhelmingly positive responses from my students when using the topics and questions in these books. |

Yea, but no answers!
Those questions look really good.
You could do warm-ups with them.
Give the students copies of the questions. Copy and paste 'em to Word. Give 'em space to right answers.
Do a few for each class.
I'm gonna try a few tomorrow for my adults.
Zed:
Have you got that Word Up board game yet? That's full of questions and they can play a game at the same time.

No, I've never heard of it. Is it working well in your classes? What age groups do you use it for? |

yes. that site IS great
the korean times or herald has something like 'dear annie' or the sort, a gossip thing with some really weird stuff...
no questions or answers but...............................................
man..................
my dog could form questions and answers from a short passage... good thing about it is that there are 3 or 4 new topics everyday....
kinda did well for me with an adult class that i had when i first came here
have a look at that too zed |
