1,000 conversation questions

by Larry Pitts

design for use in the ESL or EFL classroom

This book is packed with more than 1,000 conversation questions spanning 100 topics and is targeted towards intermediate or advanced ESL or EFL students. Whether you are using these questions to spark interest in a topic, practice fluency, elicit vocabulary, or simply to find common errors you'll find this book an invaluable resource.It is designed with one goal in mind, to provide you with a wealth of easy to use conversation questions. This book has a simple design which makes it easy to photocopy or scan. You won't find any branding, cartoons, or excessive decoration on the pages. It also contains a small section on how to best implement conversation questions in your class in which I share what I have learned through trial and error and hundreds of classroom hours. This is a book by a teacher for teachers.As an English language teacher I have found that using conversation questions in the classroom is one of the best ways to get students talking. I believe that students should be given as much opportunity as possible to produce English and so I use these questions in my own classroom to foster lively discussions. I found conversation questions to be so successful in the classroom that I decided to create a resource for my fellow teachers which became the Internet's second most popular source for ESL conversation questions (www.eslconversationquestions.com). I've taken all of the topic based conversation questions from the site, added more than 200 questions, and turned it all into an easy to use book. I sincerely hope you enjoy this book and I believe that it will provide you with lots of value in the years to come
