Debating in the ESL Classroom
Stokes, P. M.
English Language Teaching Journal, 31, 1, 15-17, Oct 76
Regular debating can be an effective way of improving the performance of ESL pupils and of assessing their language-learning propensities. It requires a lot of listening as well as speaking and generally seems to foster confidence in language use. The relationships set up in debating are pupil-pupil rather than pupil-teacher. (CFM)
