Many teachers want to have meaningful conversations and discuss complex issues with their novice-level students, but feel unable to do so in the target language.

Whether you are tied to a textbook or have more freedom in your curriculum, you will leave this session with ideas that can be used in your class immediately and the resources to continue these meaningful conversations throughout your novice-level curriculum.
