How to Use Debate in ESLPerhaps a teacher has been teaching a topic and wants a way to get students to talk more about this topic. Debate can be an excellent way to get students talking, enhancing communication and encouraging critical thinking. Debate can be used to reinforce previous content and can spur excellent conversations.
However, debate should never devolve into argument; therefore, teachers must use a formal structure for facilitating debate in a profitable way.
