505			_a" First Discussion Starters includes more of the same quirky conversation activities that teachers and students have loved in the best-selling Discussion Starters and More Discussion Starters, this time for lower-level ESL/EFL students.
505			_aTeachers of lower-level ESL/EFL students are often hard pressed to find interesting topics for their students to discuss. Many highly debatable or controversial topics require vocabulary their students have not yet acquired. First Discussion Starters is the book these teachers have been waiting for.
505			_aLike Discussion Starters and More Discussion Starters, this textbook features a variety of tasks and exercises based on real situations from all over the world. Students will get a chance to consider serious issues such as censorship, prison conditions, and cloning. Other topics - such as lotteries, pets, and travel - are lighter in nature. Activities require students to work together in pairs or small groups to reach a conclusion about a topic.
505			_aMost of the units introduce a problem or controversial topic at the beginning of the unit. This is followed by a series of exercises designed to prepare all of the students so that they can express their ideas at the next class meeting. A unit usually includes several kinds of oral fluency activities, such as problem-solving tasks, court cases, "finish the story", "put the story together", and small group presentations."
