Discussion Strategies builds on Conversation Strategies to develop advanced discussion skills for academic settings. Through step-by-step procedures, students practice essential techniques including using rejoinders, asking follow-up questions, seeking clarification, checking comprehension, supporting opinions with detail, referencing sources, and leading groups. The first 28 units offer controlled pair and triad practice, while units 29- 38 transition learners into open-ended group discussions using authentic readings, with all units systematically recycling prior skills.
