Conversation books should be
about talking. Most conversation
classes utilize role play
situations that students can act
to practice using the language
of the lesson presented. Many
lessons are situational - that is
language and expressions that
are used in given situations,
such as language used at a
restaurants or at a hotel. Other
lessons are function based - that
is using grammar structures and
expressions for the different
functions that the language is
used for, such as describing
things or extending invitations.
For beginning and intermediate
students learning commonly used
expressions and grammar
structures they can enhance
their language ability rapidly.
Many of the expressions used are
appropriate to any number of
communication needs and can
easily be transferred and
applied to fit the needs of the
these differing circumstances.
What are structures and
expressions?
Structures
are basic sentence patterns that
are used when forming sentences.
Many sentences, about any number
of topics, can be formed by
using basic structures. Look at
these two structure.
Question: What kind of ________
do you like?
Answer: I like
___________________.
Once a
student learns this structure
they can talk about any number
of topics simply by filling in
the blanks with the topic of
their choice. They can ask and
talk about music, movies,
politics, weather, food, etc.
Expressions are just commonly
used sentences or phrases that
are used when communicating with
others. People, even native
speakers, don't form brand new
sentences when they speak, they
just use the multitude of
expressions already available.
Expressions, like structures,
can be modified very simply by
changing a couple of words in
the sentences to ask or talk
about a large number of topics.
In addition, there are any
number of expressions that can
be used in ask or talk about the
same thing.
Question: What do you think of
____________?
What
is your opinion of ___________?
How
do you like_________________?
Answer: I
think___________________?

Why are
structures and expressions
important?
Because they
allow students to learn usable
English that can be applied
immediately when interacting
with others. Initially they can
memorize the basic structures
and use them to communicate. By
adding these basic expressions
and structures their of
repertoire of usable language
can be increased quickly and
easily. As their vocabulary and
knowledge of how to change and
modify the structures and
expressions improve they will
find that they can communicated
with just about anyone on any
topic.

Most verbal interactions begin
with questions. Think about it,
most people don't just start
rattling on without a reason.
They are responding to
questions.
Structures and Expressions in
English has hundreds of
questions that the students can
ask each other to practice using
the language. The discussion
topic section of each lesson
contain questions relevant to
the item under review.
In the three lessons on asking
questions, the questions are
designed to allow the student to
change the words in each
question to form another
question that interests them.
This allows for an unlimited
opportunity for students to
experiment, to try new and
different things, and to learn
by making mistakes.
Why is this a good buy?
Sure, there are a lot of sites
on the Internet that have
activities for English classes
and countless books in
bookstores. But Structures and
Expressions in English

group work that maximizes
student interaction. Each lesson
consists of:
-
expressions and structures
for the items listed above
-
a model dialogue that
students can follow for
having similar conversations
-

to the structure or
expression under review
-
role play situations that
provide additional practice
-
some lessons have a game or
other activity for
additional; practice.
