Compelling Conversations: Questions and Quotations for Advanced
Vietnamese English Language Learners is based on our original and
highly successful English as a Second Language (ESL) textbook,
Compelling Conversations. The difference is this unique textbook
was created for Vietnamese English Language Learners. Like the
original, this English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbook
includes thematic chapters to create quality conversations and uses
conversation starters, interview questions, classic quotations,
paraphrasing exercises, and traditional proverbs to create hours of
English conversation and class discussions. This culturally
sensitive text encourages students to speak about their
experiences, their families, and their lives in Vietnam. With
dozens of practical speaking exercises, Compelling Conversations
helps advanced Vietnamese English Language Learners develop greater
fluency, develop and express their opinions, give reasons to
support their opinions, build critical thinking skills, prepare for
standardized tests with speaking sections (TOEFL, IELTS), and
create authentic conversations. Fluency also requires practice.
Compelling Conversations encourages students to learn by doing and
continually practice speaking English. As a result, students gain
greater confidence, fluency, and vocabulary. They also create
better conversations in English - in and beyond their English
classes. Originally designed for community college students (ages
18-87 ), the textbook has been adopted by American adult schools,
international high schools, English language schools and intensive
English language programs, university ESL programs, and
conversation clubs. Recommended by English Teaching Professional
