Our students want to speak better – and more - English. Compelling
Conversations, a student-centered textbook, recognizes that desire,
and creates a safe place for students to expand their conversation
skills. Focusing on 45 timeless topics, the textbook demonstrates how
to ask to questions, encourages critical thinking, and provides
exceptional examples of authentic, clear communication. The material
helps English language learners – and their teachers - share insights,
deepen their cultural knowledge, and hold quality conversations in
English.
"In sum, Compelling Conversations is a recommended resource for teachers who want to make thier conversation classes more learner-centered... It reflects both authors' considerable professional experience, and would be a notable addition to any English teacher's bookshelf. "
