Objectives: to revise and consolidate all the material in the unit; to develop pupils’ ability to work independently

Debates help pupils develop their critical thinking skills and consider a problem from different points of view. Debates also are an important new feature in Teens’ English 7. They help pupils to build their confidence in speaking because pupils are not thinking about language accuracy but about proving their point of view.

While preparing for debates pupils read previous lessons to find information for the debate. In this way debates encourage pupils to read effectively to get information. Debates also help pupils to become active listeners. While listening to their opponents, they try to find contradictions and make counter-arguments.

Here are the steps for how to organise the debates. The procedure looks complicated, but we have trialled it in a number of schools and pupils have enjoyed it very much. We hope you and your pupils will enjoy it too.

Steps I and II will only be needed the first time you organise a debate.

Explain to pupils that for effective debating they should respect each other’s opinion and be polite. The aim of debating is not to find out whose point of view is correct but to exchange opinions, express diversity, and have fun.
