However, to make your debates more engaging, I’d suggest coming up with more detailed sides of the debate. I have structured each of these questions to yield a yes/no answer.
For your convenience, I have linked out to articles that discuss the issue, should you wish to introduce it to your students before they debate. However, this will not be the case for every topic. While making this list, I tried to think about topics that most students around the world have heard about and can offer his or her opinion on. Lacking vocabulary is the biggest sticking point when it comes to participation, or lack thereof, in ESL debates. If you’re looking for something to challenge your lower intermediate students, and want to give this a go, try coming up with a vocabulary list of words that would be helpful for your students to know in order to participate in the debate. These debates have been specifically chosen for English language learners who are at least intermediate level to advanced. If you think debating in your native language is tough, try doing it in a foreign language. In order to get the best out of these topics, there are a few things you should consider before presenting them to your class.
