Compelling Conversations, Questions and Quotations for Advanced Vietnamese English Language Learners - Eric H. Roth
Compelling Conversations: Questions and Quotations for Advanced Vietnamese English Language Learners is based on our original and highly successful English as a Second
Language (ESL) textbook, Compelling Conversations. The difference is this unique textbook was created for Vietnamese English Language Learners. Like the original, this English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbook includes thematic chapters to create quality conversations and uses conversation starters, interview questions, classic quotations, paraphrasing exercises, and traditional proverbs to create hours of English conversation and class discussions.
This culturally sensitive text encourages students to speak about their experiences, their families, and their lives in Vietnam. With dozens of practical speaking exercises, Compelling Conversations helps advanced Vietnamese English Language Learners develop greater fluency, develop and express their opinions, give reasons to support their opinions, build critical thinking skills, prepare for standardized tests with speaking sections (TOEFL, IELTS), and create authentic conversations.
Fluency also requires practice. Compelling Conversations encourages students to learn by doing and continually practice speaking English. As a result, students gain greater confidence, fluency, and vocabulary. They also create better conversations in English - in and beyond their English classes.
Originally designed for community college students (ages 18-87!), the textbook has been adopted by American adult schools, international high schools, English language schools and intensive English language programs, university ESL programs, and conversation clubs.
