Abstract:

Using debate to develop advanced competency in a second language is a method
that is finding increased interest among instructors and students alike,
whether in synchronous online teaching or the individual classroom. Through
debate, students learn how to make hypotheses, support their conclusions with
evidence, and deploy the rhetoric of persuasion in the target language. Though
this method provides an exciting pedagogy for moving students from the
advanced to the superior level, there is a paucity of materials available for
instructors who wish to plan a curriculum focused on debate. Teaching Advanced
Language Skills through Global Debate: Theory and Practice provides teachers
with both the theoretical underpinnings for using debate in the foreign
language classroom as well as practical advice for developing reading,
listening, writing, and speaking skills through debate. It discusses
task-based language learning and helps instructors design debate-related tasks
for the classroom.

Teaching Advanced Language Skills through Global Debate will be useful for any
instructor working at the advanced level, and particularly for those training
future language instructors. One of the new digital short publications
available through Georgetown University Press, it is an ideal complement to
the press's new titles on mastering languages through global debate.
