<p>Discover Debate makes discussion and debate skills accessible, fun, and exciting. -- The authors break down the complex thinking, speaking, and listening skills used in debate into several clear, bite-size skills -- each skill easily digested by low-level learners within one lesson period. -- Focusing on both the skills and the language strategies beginners need for self-expression, the book moves students gradually from simply stating an opinion, to explaining, supporting, and organizing an opinion. Then, students learn how to examine, question, and refute opinions. Ultimately, students are ready to support, defend, and refute opinions in a debate setting. Each unit follows a six-step learner-friendly format: Discovery, Model, Language Focus, Controlled Practice, Debate Application, and Project. Discover debate and rediscover dialog!</p>

Reference

Getting Ready For Speech was a finalist in the Independent Publisher book awards of 2002. It features a wide variety of sample speeches; it includes storytelling, show and tell, and movie and book reviews; it is perfect practice for high school speech contests; it carefully controls grammar and vocabulary and recycles them again and again. "Getting Ready for Speech" is much more than the lowest level speech book on the market. Using a new approach, each unit develops both language skills and speech skills. Each unit introduces grammar, vocabulary, and listening skills along with speech delivery and organizational skills. Every unit features a different type of speech. Speech types include self-introduction speeches, speeches to introduce someone, layout speeches, demonstrations speeches, storytelling, show and tell, and movie and book reviews. Units have a proven step-by-step learner-friendly format: 1. MODEL--Each unit kicks off with a model, a focused listening task where students listen to simple mini-speeches modeling the unit’s target speech. 2. LANGUAGE--These pages highlight and practice the specific language from the mini-speeches 3. DELIVERY--The ever-popular delivery pages isolate and practice the unit’s delivery skill. 4. PRACTICE--These pages revise the listening task at the beginning of the unit into a pair work format that enables each student to integrate the unit’s language and delivery skills. 5. SPEECH--These pages provide students with a clear, simple template for preparing and giving their own speeches. 6. GRAMMAR--Each unit concludes with a page summarizing the unit’s grammar focus. Getting Ready for Speech--A four skills text disguised as a speech text!
