Description
Emotions run deep, and your advanced adult ESL students have plenty of opinions about them. These 130 Emotion Discussion Cards give them the vocabulary and the prompts to actually talk about it, in English, at a level that challenges them.
These cards go well beyond surface-level feelings. Your students will be wrestling with big, meaty ideas that keep the conversation going long after the bell rings.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
✅ 130 advanced emotion-themed conversation cards, each with a unique discussion prompt
✅ Easel version with one prompt per slide for whole-class use on digital days
HOW TO USE THESE CARDS
- Pull a few cards that match where your students are that week, whether you're in the middle of a psychology unit or just need a rich discussion topic.
- Put students in small groups and let them go. These prompts are meaty enough that groups rarely run dry.
- Use the Easel version to project a single prompt for a whole-class warm-up or debate starter.
- After group discussion, bring everyone back together and compare perspectives. With topics this complex, you'll get different takes.
THIS WAS CREATED FOR YOUR ADVANCED ADULT ESL STUDENTS
These cards cover the neurological basis of emotions, how culture shapes emotional expression, the connection between emotions and memory, emotional intelligence in the workplace, the link between emotions and physical and mental health, the role of empathy in relationships, how advertising uses emotions, the effects of suppressing emotions, and more.
These are not beginner-friendly prompts. They're designed specifically for advanced students who are ready to think critically and express complex ideas in English.
GRAB IT AND GO
Download, print, cut, and you're ready. Laminate if you want. Or skip all of it and use the Easel version straight from your device.
