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

"I have taught ESL conversation classes for all levels in the United States and Vietnam, and Compelling Conversations is one of my favorite resources. As a collection of interesting and thoughtful conversation starters, it never fails to help me engage students in meaningful conversational interaction."

Nathan Crandall, Lecturer
USC Language Academy

"Compelling Conversations is an unexpected treasure. I have been teaching ESL in Vietnam for a few years, and this is the first textbook that is not Euro-centric. The perfect mix of east meets west, it provides lively, thought provoking topics with vocabulary and proverbs that my Vietnamese students can relate to and connect with."

Emily Borden, English teacher/tutor
Hanoi, Vietnam

"Compelling Conversations is the first book I turn to when teaching an advanced level ESL class. It has become integral to my lesson planning as a way to foster meaningful conversations and improve my student’s vocabulary. The proverbs and quotes included with each lesson let every student think critically and I’ve heard some amazing insights coming from all types of students."
