| Summary, etc. |
"Taboos and Issues is a photocopiable resource book for teachers. It contains 40 discussion lessons, which give students the opportunity to talk about more controversial issues. Each lesson consists of two pages of texts, language work, discussion questions and activities. The topics covered in Taboos and Issues are those which occur daily on TV and in our newspapers, but which do not appear in teaching materials. Taboos and Issues is designed to bridge the gap between the classroom and real life by giving students the opportunity to talk about things which really matter to them on a personal, political, or moral level. Taboos and Issues is the ideal antidote to the bland discussion materials in most coursebooks." (Back Cover) |
