Need help putting together political discussion class

[SmoothCB]

Hi,

I currently teach conversational english to mostly adult students and was wondering if anyone had material, links etc... regarding politics. The class is called a "presentation class" where the students get the assignment before hand then present there findings in class.

Thanks

I think you need to provide more contextual information for this one - particularly when the heading is "putting together a 'political' discussion" - what kind of politcial discussion? why do you want politics to be the theme of the discussions?
.... more info required please

As correctly pointed out in the previous reply, you need to supply more details.
I for example teach i n CHINA, and my students range in age from 20 to 22.
Can I ever discuss political issues???

Good question.
Sometimes I can. Sometimes it's tactful to steer clear of such topics.

In any event, I would think of newspapers as the next best resource for topics!

Setting up a topic is always a good idea as our fellows mentioned before.

If you're looking for something more academical you could try

Even though it is still a beta web site it provides people with lots technical & academical material.

Good search!!!
