Teaching discussion can be daunting because it is an area of language teaching that seems best suited for advanced-level students only. But not so with Coffee Shop Discussions, a classroom-tested new text that allows students of all levels to discuss important, interesting topics with complete confidence. How is this done? For each topic, Coffee Shop Discussions uses a unique vocabulary-building system centering around eight core adjectives that become the building blocks of active discussion. Accessible language support is presented through a variety of speaking tasks that enable students to grasp the discussion process while developing the critical-thinking skills they need to competently express their thoughts and feelings.

Key Features and Functions
