For teachers
Improve the general conversation skills of your students with our list of ESL conversation questions. I have tried to add a broad variety of topics to keep your students interested and challenged. The topics are also great if you are preparing students for official exams like Cambridge or Trinity.
For students
Are you learning English and want to improve your conversation skills? You can use the topics below to improve your speaking skills. The best way to do it is to choose a topic and record yourself speaking about it. Then you can show it to you teacher to get feedback on which areas you need to improve. Another good idea is to write about the topics. Use a dictionary to use as many new words and expressions as possible and you will see a big improvement in your English.
