Over the past several years, Presenting Different Opinions has become the text for EFL teachers who want to help their students overcome barriers to speaking out in public and to give them the confidence they need to make successful in class presentations. Easy and convenient to use, Presenting Different Opinions creates the kind of give and take classroom atmosphere that makes for genuine learning and understanding.

Key Features and Functions; Each of the 12 units is divided into two parts: Reading and Comprehension/ Making Presentations. In Part 1, reading passages introduce useful vocabulary and stimulate student interest in six broad topic categories: Education/ Travel and Culture/ Health and Environment/ Society/ Relationships/ Media and Technology. Follow up exercises check comprehension, aid vocabulary retention, and help students organize their thoughts and opinions. Part 2 guides students step by step through the process of making a presentation: selecting a topic/ planning an outline/ choosing visual aids/ writing a draft/ delivery and evaluation. Encourages students to be good listeners, with handy charts for evaluating others’ presentations. Helps students recognize and overcome their English communication shortcomings.
