Choosing suitable discussion topics is crucial for encouraging lively interaction among students. But why do some class discussion topics work well in Japan, and others don’t? In this session, the presenter will share some recent findings from a research project conducted among Japanese university teachers. Attendees will explore four simple but essential criteria that can be used for identifying effective discussion topics for Japanese high school or university English classes.
