Great Ideas for discussion
As an ESL teacher, I was running out of ideas for conversations my students would enjoy. This book gave me many ideas and provided exercises for written language too.

This is in no way a basic English conversation starter ...
This is in no way a basic English conversation starter book. Students would have to be high-intermediate level at least to complete the activities in this book

Beginning ESL- Not!
Lower level ESL? I would love to know what the writers of the book title views as intermediate level. I teach lower level ESL adults. Lower level means the students struggle with all words and the meanings of those words. We are working on mastering words such as : next to, behind, Monday, run and turkey. The title of this book is "First Discussion Starters- Speaking Fluency Activities for Lower-level ESL/EFL Student". It would appear that this is a simple, easy-does it- let's-get -comfy with the English language book. I now quote from a paragraph: "The post-master general....faced a unique dilemma." and...." unless the expression creates a substantial disruption...." Right? These are speaking activities for "Lower-Level ESL/EFL Students"? I cannot use this book. I urge the authors of this book to rename the book to more accurately describe the level of its contents. bleeeeeh!

Good for B1 (and up) students
A real time saver. It would be great to have Discussion Starters for students with an even lower level (this book is impossible to use if your students have not reached a B1 level)
