Experienced learners have probably covered many of the ‘classic’ ESL topics, so they’ll be confident when talking about school, work, sports, friendship and the like. There’s nothing wrong with these subjects, but it’s a good idea to advance beyond them, even if (and especially when) your assigned textbook doesn’t. Once you’ve gotten to know the class quite well, carry out a poll or hand out a questionnaire to discover their level of interest in different topics. Tabulate the results, consider your own interests and the topics which are most suitable for students of their age and level, and choose a handful to take further.
I’ve been fortunate in being assigned to the same groups of students for many weeks, sometimes months, and this useful familiarity lets me tailor content for just the group I’m working with. I urge you to be careful, and to consider the ethnic and gender balance of the class, but these days, there are few topics which will really cause offence or foment serious division, and I’m betting that you could list them right now. A little careful forethought, and you’ll have ready a set of topics which have universal appeal, and which will yield some terrific language practice opportunities.
Have your students assess the human impact on the environment, where they’re from and where you are, or in an assigned area of the world (the rain forest, the polar regions, mountainous and glacial areas, etc). Encourage them to devise solutions to climate change issues, perhaps including a ‘Tobin Tax’ to fund research or construction work, possible methods of reducing global temperature, our response to the issue of salinity problems in the Atlantic (you might even show all or part of the blockbuster ), and studies of the first obvious signs of climate change around the world.
At the time of writing, a study of the 2015 Paris accord would look at the text of the document and the media coverage of the event, though in coming months and years, the effectiveness of the agreement will itself become measurable.
I’m also a big fan of discussion and negotiation exercises, and recently trialed . I’d also like to try a card-based crisis management game called ‘Sinking Island’, where teams compete to save an imperiled island nation from the rising waters; feel free to take this idea and run with it, especially if you’ve a penchant for game design.
How do they feel about genetic testing, or the prospect of genetic alterations? Could these ever be justified? A combined research, presentation and discussion module would bring in some interesting language, and give the students a grounding in an important area.
On the lighter side, hold a debate on cosmetic surgery – perhaps whether it should be covered by national health systems like those in Britain and other parts of Europe. Another good challenge is to have the students judge different research areas and allocate funding to each one, from a limited budget. Would they give the majority of the funds to the cancer treatment center, the HIV lab, the ‘future viruses’ technologists or the DNA-modification team? I’ve always loved exercises like this; they tend to produce lots of good language, I always learn a lot, and these challenging topics require the students to consider new strands of thought.
An obvious place to start is cellphones. Should we regard cellphone addiction as a real disorder? Should there be limits on their use in education, or in the workplace? If someone is arrested, should the police have immediate access to that person’s phone?
From here, branch out into discussions of Internet censorship, good practice, cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin), encrypted browsing (e.g. the Tor network) and emerging trends in social media. Should parents be solely responsible for their children’s internet use, or should government have some role? Can a government ever hope to meaningfully control its public’s access to the Internet? And is such access, as the United Nations has decided, genuinely a human right?
Conversely, have your students research and present on the virtues of unplugging from technology. New research is emerging regarding the importance of limiting screen time before sleeping, the impact of too much TV or computer time on child development, and the potential dangers of violent video games; do your students take these findings seriously?
Would your students ever consider a surgical implant to help their memory, brainpower or sensory processing? Are we truly approaching The Singularity, as Ray Kurzweil has labeled the seemingly inevitable fusion of man and machine?
Another well worn but fascinating path is discussing the value of space exploration. Show your students the latest images from Pluto, Saturn and the asteroids, and explore whether they believe such investments are worthwhile. I’d also like to write another decision-making game based on the news that an asteroid is a year away from striking the Earth. How would your students respond, and what would their priorities be during this challenging time?
Compare the political systems from your students’ countries, and perhaps take a dispassionate view of the system where you live. Could it be improved? What changes would your students makes?
Are their own political systems troubled by the unfair influence of the rich, through campaign donations, or other forms of corruption? Could they design a better, more representative electoral system?
I also love in my class, complete with policy statements, personal attacks and a nail-biting final vote.
. The death penalty debate never gets old, provided your students are genuinely up for it, and they will almost certainly have opinions about how to tackle terrorism and reform gun control.
You might delve into some , discuss the notion from of ‘abolishing all lawyers’, or have your students watch the riveting Netflix documentary, . It’s in ten hour-long parts, but it’ll teach them volumes about the justice system and its problems, and it’s a master class in documentary film-making.
I might risk assigning the Syria conflict to a very mature, experienced group; the same is true of the Russia/Ukraine crisis and the endless dispute between Israel and Palestine.
If these topics are too rich for your students’ diet, consider .
These can encourage lots of great language production, and the learning of new vocab, but also these topics are ones which can broaden your students’ horizons and result in new areas of interest.

When giving a presentation in english, there are certain guidelines you should follow. Maybe you haven't got a lot of experience presenting - or you would simply like to refresh your already existing knowledge - we're here to teach you the basics about presenting and provide you with a free list of useful phrases and the basic structure you can in your presentation!
The general structure of a presentation is the following:
It is up to you to design these three parts. Using videos or everyday-examples can be a great way to introduce the audience to the topic. The important thing is that you capture the audience's attention from the beginning by making an interesting introduction. The main part is where you present your topic, ideally divided into sections. You can be creative with it - incorporate images, videos, stories or interactive polls . We generally recommend using different kinds of elements, as that makes the presentation more lively. Make sure your main part is well structured, so your audience can follow. In the conclusion, you should give a short summary of the points you made without adding any new information. You can also make an appeal to your audience in the end.
Here you'll find several phrases that you'll need in every presentation. Of course, you should adapt them and use them in a context that is suitable for your setting. The phrases are divided into subcategories so you can find what you're looking for more easily.
In your introduction, you should:

Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to my presentation about...
Introduce yourself

One key goal almost every adult ESL student shares is gaining the ability to speak English with others.
What better way to learn to speak English than to speak about the very same things that you speak about on a daily basis ?
ESL speaking activities work even better when someone speaks about their own personal recollections, thoughts and ideas on these topics.
Use these topics and questions to get conversations started!
11. first dates, 13. motivation, 19. restaurants, 20. cooking, 22. shopping, 26. learning, 28. computers, 29. problems.

Everybody has hobbies, and everybody loves talking about them. Hobbies could be passions too, you know. Some simple questions to ask include:
Lots of people work and have lots to say about it. I mean, if you’re spending about a third of your waking hours at work, you may have lots to say.
Some good questions are:
Food is possibly the most universal topic of them all and everyone loves to discuss what they eat. Food-themed ESL activities are always a hit with students.
This is also an ideal topic for beginners because the vocabulary is usually pretty simple. You could use questions like:
This is a topic that many people get very excited about. If someone is passionate or emotional about a topic, they can be more motivated to speak and understand things related to it.
A few good example questions are:
As people get older, their perceived value of time increases, so it’s a practical topic that everyone has something to say about.
You could ask questions like:
As people get older, they start to appreciate a good night’s sleep more and more. This topic is often a favorite.
Some example questions are:
Everybody loves music and most people feel very strong emotions toward it—especially when it comes to the music that they love (or hate) most. Some simple questions to ask could be:
Listening to music with English lyrics can be fun and engaging activity that can also start conversations.
Watching music videos with subtitles will help students remember the vocabulary they hear in a song.
Television is one of those topics that everyone has an opinion about.
TV will enable you to showcase native English forms and provide some great context before diving into discussion questions. Good questions include:
If your students enjoy learning from TV and other native content, you can try a media-focused resource like FluentU .
This website and app teaches English with authentic videos, including clips from TV shows, news segments and commercials.
The video dictionary also links to other videos that use the word for additional context. Students can also take quizzes based on the videos and their flashcard learning.
The pop-culture content on FluentU is more interesting to students than more traditional materials, and it increases the motivation to understand the dialogue.
Authentic media lets students hear English the way native speakers use it and helps them recall the meanings of words better by creating memorable associations with stories and characters.
The FluentU program is available both for schools and for individual learners .
Like television, movies are a popular conversation topic. I mean, who doesn’t watch movies? A few good questions to be asked could be:
Travel can be a great discussion topic – it encourages storytelling in the past tense and inspires students to talk about culture and similar topics.
Here are some possible questions:
Talking about first dates gets everybody interested. We’ve all been there.
Everyone feels a certain way about risk. Some are risk-oriented, others are risk-averse. Talking about risks seems to generate some good conversation. You could ask questions like:
Whether or not the students are a motivated bunch, motivation is a good topic to discuss in order to inspire your students.
Anyone can appreciate beauty in all its forms, and anyone can recognize the importance of the concept of beauty in our cultures, societies and behaviors.
This makes it a good topic to discuss to get some opinions and various views within a group.
Crime may not be on the top of people’s lists of favorite topics but it’s something that’s talked about.
Depending on someone’s life experiences, it may be something that has affected their lives. Learning to discuss it could help in the long run.
Good discussion questions are:
Most people have had some firsthand experience with love that they’d like to talk about. It’s another one of those universal topics that gets the conversation going.
Even if it’s not about romantic love and heartbreak, students can talk about familial love with their parents and children, as well as love between friends.
Questions like these are good:
We all have goals and talking about them actually gets us more encouraged to do something about them. Sharing goals is also a good way to help get them achieved.
A good set of questions is:
We all have dreams, sometimes on a nightly basis, and they can make for a great discussion topic as it inspires students to be creative and even whimsical.
Great questions for this topic include:
Along with eating, people love talking about their favorite eateries and restaurants. Some students might even relate to each other with their choices and views.
Good questions include:
Cooking is another topic that may allow for some good conversation. Most people in most countries do a good amount of cooking.
A few good questions could be:
Recipes can be a fun way to introduce students to assorted cooking vocabulary and phrases. And in addition to written recipes, there are tons of recipe videos on the web if you want to work on listening comprehension as well.
FluentU has lots of videos about food and cuisine, as well as several captioned recipe videos.
If there is one topic that affects everyone, it has to be money. People love talking about money.
Well, they may not if they’re broke—but even then it’s a relatable topic that gets conversations going.
Great questions include:
This one is a personal favorite for many. Shopping just brings out the zest in some people.
Others feel strongly the other way—very few people are completely neutral on this topic.
A few good questions are:
Everybody makes plans and discussing them could even influence the class to start making plans of their own! A few example questions include:
Books make for a good conversation topic because most people enjoy a good book.
When you read, your mind is filled with new images, feelings, ideas and thoughts. It can be immensely satisfying for someone to share how they feel about reading.
Some questions to ask are:
Life discussions go on in all languages and English is no exception.
Life is a good topic since everyone has their own views and thoughts on this universal subject.
You could bring up questions like:
Learning is like nature—it’s all around us, even on a subconscious level. Our brains are built to absorb, filter and store information.
A conversation about learning could actually stimulate some English learning!
A few questions that are suitable are:
Games are fun and everybody enjoys fun, no?
But in all seriousness, talking about games tends to gear the conversation more toward past tense, which can bring students a fond sense of nostalgia.
Some simple questions could be:
It’s hard to go a day without talking about computers. This universal topic could have students discussing quite a few things, much of which could relate to real life too!
Great questions on this could be:
Even though nobody likes to talk about problems per se, everybody still talks about their problems to other people!
Problems are actually a good topic for discussion since they could help others relate to each other and even present solutions too.
A few fine examples of questions are:
Discussion questions like the ones above—questions about everyday things—work well because they really get the brain thinking.
These topics relate directly to students on a familiar level and can even spark some fascinating discussions.
You could even mix up the example questions any way you’d like.
These topics may even inspire you to come up with some of your own, as you begin to understand what works and what doesn’t.
Happy discussing!
