✅ Debate motion for week beginning 19th August: THB animal testing should be banned. 🎯 Debate skill: Using conjunctive adjectives to extend an argument. This debating club aims to open students’ eyes to different perspectives and ideas while developing debating and advanced topical discussion skills. Students will learn about different global challenges or trending topics as well as directly working on key debating techniques. In each session, we will learn new advanced English vocabulary relating to the topic, discuss initial thoughts, read and analyse different perspectives, learn a new debating technique, construct arguments, and end with an open-ended debate. Note that we do not follow a specific debate format, nor is this intended as preparation for competitive debates - instead, this is more of a structured, advanced discussion class. These classes include structured activities (using interactive lesson slides) along with plenty of opportunities for learners to share ideas and engage in open discussion within a small group format.
Metas de aprendizaje
Learn advanced English vocabulary (B2-C1 level) relevant to the topic.
Develop persuasive and argumentative speaking skills.
Otros detalles
Necesidades de aprendizaje
This class is particularly suited to students with English as a second / additional language. There is some direct instruction of advanced / topical vocabulary and extended sentence structures for argumentation. All learners welcome!
Orientación para padres
Due to the nature of a debating class, we may touch upon potentially controversial issues such as vaccination or religious expression. All subjects will be approached from a non-biased and secular perspective, with students taught to respect others' opinions, analyse real evidence / statistics, and present arguments for both sides. Please note that I will not censor topics due to religious or discriminatory objections. Topics picked will be age-appropriate, and I am also open to learners suggesting topics for future classes.
Lista de útiles escolares
Students will be provided with a two-page PDF worksheet for each class. I recommend printing this before the class to use for taking notes. The second page contains an optional written homework task.
