Chimayo Press is pleased to announce its newest title in the Compelling Conversations series:

Compelling Conversations: Questions and Quotations for Advanced Vietnamese English Language Learners

Like the original Compelling Conversations, this conversation textbook gently pushes English Language Learners to develop many vital conversational skills. Students also have the opportunity to speak in English about their Vietnam cultural experiences, whether they are living in Vietnam or abroad.

This culturally sensitive text encourages students to speak about their experiences, their families, and their lives in Vietnam.  With dozens of practical speaking exercises, Compelling Conversations helps advanced Vietnamese English Language Learners develop greater fluency, develop and express their opinions, give reasons to support their opinions, build critical thinking skills, prepare for standardized tests with speaking sections (TOEFL, IELTS), and create authentic conversations. Includes thematic chapters to create quality conversations and uses conversation starters, interview questions, classic quotations, paraphrasing exercises, and traditional proverbs to create hours of English conversation and class discussions.

This text is based on the author’s (Eric Roth ) experience teaching in Ho Chi Minh City at the APU International High School and is infused with Vietnamese cultural references.

Compelling Conversations: Questions and Quotations for Advanced Vietnamese English Language Learners (ISBN: 978-0-9826178-1-6)  is now available on Amazon.com, through Ingram’s, BarnesandNoble.com. For immediate information or to order discounted class sets, contact Laurie@CompellingConversations.com.
