One key goal almost every adult ESL student shares is gaining the ability to speak English with others.
Luckily, they come to the classroom with a unique advantage. They have life experience.
And, unlike younger students, they’ve typically already achieved a high level of proficiency in their native language.
They want to speak English as well as they speak their own native language—so what better way to speak English like their native language than to speak about the very same things that they speak about ?
work even better when they speak about their own personal recollections, thoughts and ideas on these topics too!
Sure, —so, you can always do some with them. But when it comes to improving confidence and fluency, sometimes you just can’t beat a fine discussion. You know, a discussion like the ones they regularly have in their own language!
Breaking out discussion questions like the ones below, questions about everyday things, works well because these types of questions really get the brain thinking, relate directly to the students on a familiar level and can even incite some fascinating discussions between students, all while you sit back and listen!
These topics can all be used for beginner, intermediate and advanced learners! Just choose the questions that are the right level of simplicity or complexity for your students based on your knowledge of their skills. You could even any way you’d like.
Ask the students these questions yourselves to get conversations started, or pass them out on worksheets for students to ask each other.
