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 opinion sharing and encouraging critical thinking. Debate can be used to both reinforce previous content and spur excellent conversations.
However, debate should never devolve into conflict; therefore, teachers must use a formal structure for facilitating debate in a profitable way.
