First Discussion Starters: Speaking Fluency Activities for Lower-Level ESL/EFL Students

This is a very good way to get students to talk about their ideas and feelings and then help them with pronunciation or vocabulary meaning.

This is a great book to keep in your back pocket to jump start your class into talking. I have not had a class yet that could keep quiet once I open this book.

As an ESL teacher, I was running out of ideas for conversations my students would enjoy. This book gave me many ideas and provided exercises for written language too.

Very useful in class

This is in no way a basic English conversation starter book. Students would have to be high-intermediate level at least to complete the activities in this book

great

Good for ESL

Lower level ESL? I would love to know what the writers of the book title views as intermediate level. I teach lower level ESL adults. Lower level means the students struggle with all words and the meanings of those words. We are working on mastering words such as : next to, behind, Monday, run and turkey. The title of this book is "First Discussion Starters- Speaking Fluency Activities for Lower-level ESL/EFL Student". It would appear that this is a simple, easy-does it- let's-get -comfy with the English language book. I now quote from a paragraph: "The post-master general....faced a unique dilemma." and...." unless the expression creates a substantial disruption...." Right? These are speaking activities for "Lower-Level ESL/EFL Students"? I cannot use this book. I urge the authors of this book to rename the book to more accurately describe the level of its contents. bleeeeeh!

A real time saver. It would be great to have Discussion Starters for students with an even lower level (this book is impossible to use if your students have not reached a B1 level)
