辯論室（聊天群組）

This Debate Lounge (group) is an encouraging group for learners to debate topics that interest them in a moderated setting. Learners are welcome to suggest debate questions, but the instructor has plenty to share as well. Debates may fall under topics like current events, education, politics, social issues, technology, and more. 

Example Debate questions include: 

"Should Schools have Uniforms?"
"Is Social Media a good influence on us?"
"Should we Clone Extinct Animals?"

The instructor will moderate the debates by, for example: asking follow-up questions, prompting learners to add research to their debate arguments where possible, encouraging learners to "play devil's advocate" (argue for the side of an issue they currently disagree with, to build debate skills and understand different perspectives) and by ensuring that learners are respectful and positive.
