Current Conversation topics for Advanced Level
|
Hi All,
I �m super short of time, does anyone have ideas of current news topics that could be good for my conversation classes this week?
So far all I �ve come across is the "human milk" from Chinese GM cows story
I �ve already checked out "Breaking English", in fact that �s probably where I discovered the milk controversy.
Thanks in advance
Hugs from a sultry Barcelona!

Thanks for your ideas so far, keep them coming! Sorry; I meant to write Breaking News English! Actually I do get my students to bring their own articles and ideas too, but I can �t turn up empty-handed, plus it �s always a bonus if they actually want to discuss the things that interest you.

I have laminated the entire series of conversation cards at eslpartyland and always keep a few sets in my bag for those moments when I need an activity or a diversion
I have found some of the topics highly suited to my advanced learners such as:
What I sometimes do is put a different set on each group of tables and students can join the table that interests them.
