Who needs Qs?

As English teachers, we well know the value of good questions in classroom particularly when we would like our students to discuss a certain subject. Given the right questions, students can enjoy communicating in the target language. The teacher could also spend the time monitoring their performance, planning how to help them later with their mistakes.

This website is recommended to English teachers as it supplies an interesting list of themes, alphabetically arranged, with a variety of questions. You could easily download the questions in the format you wish, word or pdf, and use the questions in your classes. However, you might want to edit some questions to fit certain levels and ages as the website suggests;

The discussion questions found here are especially suitable for students from intermediate to advanced levels. Low-intermediate students may struggle to answer some of the questions. Moreover, some of the topics may not succeed, depending on the cultural context. Instructors should have a sense of what their students can talk about and direct students to answer those questions.

It is also recommended to those who want to improve their speaking skill with a partner. A lot of students would like to practice English by themselves. Not many find it easy, when it comes to speaking, particularly. Having the right subjects and the right questions to discuss can be really facilitating.

The website also provides questions focused on certain grammatical features which could be very helpful to both teachers and students. In addition, it offers some links to sites where you could improve reading and listening.

I, personally, found 'printdiscuss.com' really educational.
