About This Product

Debate ESL speaking fluency development topics for exam preparation.

This resource is wonderful to:

-engage students in debate about current topics (natural disaster, school uniforms, hip hop music, etc.)

-develop speaking fluency

These colorful and engaging topic cards can be used for students of all levels and ages. I have successfully used these cards in a classroom as well as an online environment with individual students as well as in groups.

It is excellent for exam preparation, especially exams where students have to engage in a dialogue and state their opinions and also to develop essay writing.
