Title: The Language of Discussion
Description: Role-play exercises for advanced students. 1970 - 
THE LANGUAGE OF DISCUSSION
Discussions and arguments amongst friends or in business, defending one's point of view, attacking someone else's — all these activities need specific language skills and techniques. Advanced students cannot progress very far unless they have mastered these language functions, and can use them appropriately in a variety of contexts.
Language of Discussion therefore provides an interesting range of thirteen role-play situations for advanced students — about half are illustrated, and half have a business/management setting. Each unit has:
a sizeable reading passage to set the scene
a brief comprehension exercise to fix essential vocabulary
background notes on each character's attitude, age, etc.
detailed functional language notes
topics for further discussion
