Description
Your adult ESL students live in this world too, and most of them have opinions about what's happening to it. These environment-themed conversation cards give them the vocabulary and the prompts to say so.
With 92 cards, you have a lot of ground to cover, which means you can match the discussion to whatever your class is ready for. Pull out the straightforward ones for a warm-up or grab the heavier topics when you want a real debate going.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
✅ 92 environment-themed conversation starter cards, each on its own card, adult-appropriate and print-ready
✅ A teacher suggestion page with tips on using the cards
✅ Easel version with one discussion prompt per slide for whole-class display
HOW TO USE THESE CARDS
Before class, flip through and pull a handful that fit where your students are. You don't have to use them all.
During class, put students in pairs or small groups and hand each group a card or two. Let them talk. Your job is to listen, prompt if things stall, and push them to ask each other follow-up questions instead of waiting for you to do it.
If you want to bring the whole class together, use the Easel version to put one question on the screen at a time. Works well for opening discussions or wrapping up a class.
These also work as writing prompts if you need a quick pivot.
THIS WAS CREATED FOR YOUR ADULT ESL STUDENTS
Intermediate to advanced adult ESL students tend to have real thoughts about environmental issues. These cards get those thoughts out in English. The range of difficulty means you can use easier cards as warm-ups and save the more nuanced ones for students who are ready to go deeper. Works well for older teen students too.
GRAB IT AND GO
Download it, print what you need, cut (and laminate if you want), and you're set. Or skip all that and use the Easel version. Either way, your students do the talking and you do the facilitating.
