Get Them Talking Part 1

Many teachers find it difficult to get their students to talk and discuss in class. In Content-Area Conversations by Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey and Carol Rothenberg the authors give valuable reading to ESL/EFL teachers to help us start to develop our classroom discussions into real-life conversations. This week WebEnglish.se will post three free chapters from the book. This first post gives us insight to the importance of talk in the language classroom. Link: Chapter 1.
