    Default Topics for intermediate students

    Hi,

    Do you think the following topics are appropriate for intermediate level:


    • abortion
    • animal rights
    • death penalty
    • euthanasia

    I'd like to use these topics in converstion classes. Unfortunately I haven't met the learners yet.


    Any help is appreciated

    A lot depends on how old the students are, and where they come from. A lot of heat could be generated by some of these topics.
    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
    Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.

    It might be worth trying some less controversial topics first

    Impact Issues
    Impact Topics
    Impact Values
    Newspaper Articles to get teenagers talk (of course it's an eBook by Peter Dainty).
