Live Online Debate Club: English classes that will improve your listening and speaking English skills.
Offering an opinion can be difficult when it is not in your first language. You may know exactly what you want to say in your native tongue, but are unsure of how to express your views in English. You may also worry that your words will not come out properly or that you might hurt someone’s feelings by being too forward. Although it is easier to sit back and say nothing at all, you will become bored or frustrated if all you can do is nod your head yes or shake your head no, especially if you have a strong opinion about something. If you want to improve, the best thing to do is to learn and practise some common expressions that are used in discussions and debates.
Our Debate Club is based on the TED Talks (www.ted.com). These English lessons are very popular with our students, especially as a way of developing conversational English and learning new vocabulary.
Before each Debate English class your teacher will send you:
- A weblink to the Ted Talk video
- A list of vocabulary from the video to learn and use in the lesson
- Comprehension questions about the video, to answer and discuss in the lesson
After each lesson, your English teacher will be given a composition as homework to consolidate all that you have learned in the lesson. Your teacher will correct your homework and make suggestions as to how you can improve your writing skills.
