Converation Class Ideas - Lower Level Adults

Post by Brix » Tue Dec 23, 2008 2:53 am

I've been getting material on the web for this class. Some has been useful.

In this class, a textbook is not used. It's based on topics and some supplemental material.

If anyone has any activities or sites or ideas that have worked, I'd appreciate any input.


Thanks, Brian

Hi Brian,

You didn't mention what age group your students are. I make materials on my site for conversation, you're welcome to come have a look

http://www.kalinago-english.com

Alternatively Eric Roth of Compelling Conversations does great work.

Take care,

Karenne

Age: most students are in their 20s, a couple in their 30s.

Thanks Karenne.

I have had your site bookmarked for a while and it's excellent. Great work and thanks for sharing.

Yes. I am going to order the book version when I visit the USA this Summer.


Thanks, Karenne.
