OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS for Social Conversation = 72 Question Cards + 20-Page Activity & Idea Book
This Speaking deck contains 72 cards, each with an open-ended question designed to stimulate engaging social conversation. These thought-provoking questions are about communication, language, personal preferences, life philosophy, values, or opinions. A reproducible question list appears in the accompanying 20-page instruction booklet, which gives ideas for nine communicative activities, such as "The Interview Circle Game," "Spontaneous Mini-Speeches," "Conversational Roles," "Truth or Put On," "What’s the Question?" "Getting to Know You," and "The Ungame."
ISBN: 978-1-891077-14-2 $14.00 US
(The "resource book" where these activity ideas first appeared is called SPEAKING; Oral Language Skills for Real-Life Communication [ISBN 978-1-891077-00-5]. They are in the "Getting-Acquainted Intro" and the Chapter called "Social Conversation."
The same kinds of oral (listening/speaking) skills development is addressed in the low-lntermediate level 166-Page WorkText entitled BEFORE SPEAKING: Activities for Practice & Preparation in Oral Language Skills [978-1-891077-50-0] with its companion manual PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE Before Speaking [ISBN 978-1-891077-51-7]. Basic or Beginning academic students might do even better with the 144-Page WorkText called BEGINNERS' BEFORE SPEAKING with Pronunciation Principles--& More [ISBN 978-1-934637-25-8]. For both of these more pedagogical but less challenging books, extensive Self-Teaching Answer Keys are available.)
