Talk Your Head Off... and Write, Too!
Published 1996

No repetitive drills and rote exercises here, just targeted questions on high-interest topics such as love, prejudice, stress, superstitions, and family that are used as conversational tools. The process is simply, yet effective, and the classroom content is always original and relevant because students use their own life experiences to answer the questions.

  • Student surveys and small group participation enable all students to feel comfortable conversing with each other - encouraging them to express their views verbally and in writing.
  • Lessons progress in complexity of topic, vocabulary (pertinent to each theme), and grammatical focus.
