When something can be learned without effort, great effort has gone into its teaching. This book has done the hard work for you. English conversation in an academic setting more closely resembles an interview or an interrogation rather than a relaxed and free-flowing exchange of information, ideas, and opinions. The purpose of Table Talk! Is to create an enjoyable space for students to talk with each other about the big and not-so-big questions of life.This book gives them the opportunity to explore the big questions, articulate their thoughts, and engage with the opinions of others. At any point during the discussion, should students come up with a question on the spot, they are encouragedto ask it to everyone. This will allow students to practice speaking English using a mix of lighter questions and some that are more challenging.The beauty of this is that the students choose the questions and set the agenda. If a question is discussed for a long time, do not worry-let the conversation flow. You may find that as students talk, new questions come up naturally. It isimportant that each student feels able to contribute as much or as little as they wish.Enjoy.
