Table talk!

1
A Kaizen Teaching Production
This book is designed to help teachers create an atmosphere conducive to conversation by making
the language spoken in class both comprehensible and engaging, and to build student confidence
in answering questions.
This will allow students to practice speaking English without the fear of being “on stage”. With
“Table Talk!” students can spend time formulating their conversations, self-reflect and self-assess,
have realistic conversations with peers of differing skill levels, and in the end, feel confident in their
abilities. This will encourage participation by making sure everyone gets a turn to use their ability in
a way with which they are comfortable. “When something can be learned without effort, great effort
has gone into its teaching.” This book has done the hard work for you. Enjoy.
Dedicated with my heartiest approbation and sincerest admiration to my friend Nancy.

Welcome to Table Talk!
Page 1: New Vocabulary and Phrases—Setting the Table
1. This page introduces students to the topic via a short reading. Stu-
dents are urged to listen and read the passage repeatedly before
class begins.
2. First, students are encouraged to listen to the teacher read the pas-
sage once with their books closed. Then they open their books and
follow along. This will improve their listening.
3. Teachers can explain the meaning of the reading and expressions.
Ask students to come up with similar words or phrases that could be
used to replace the expressions.
4. Remind students to try and use these key words and expressions
later on in the lesson and throughout the course of the book.
English conversation in an academic setting more closely resembles an interview or an interrogation rather than a re-
laxed and free-flowing exchange of information, ideas, and opinions. The purpose of Table Talk! Is to create an enjoya-
ble space for students to talk with each other about the big and not-so-big questions of life.
This book gives them the opportunity to explore the big questions, articulate their thoughts, and engage with the opin-
ions of others. At any point during the discussion, should students come up with a question on the spot, they are en-
couraged to ask it to everyone.
This will allow students to practice speaking English using a mix of lighter questions and some that are more challeng-
ing. The beauty of this is that the students choose the questions and set the agenda. If a question is discussed for a long
time, do not worry—let the conversation flow. You may find that as students talk, new questions come up naturally. It is
important that each student feels able to contribute as much or as little as they wish.
Conversation: an informal talk
involving two people or a small
group of people
Interview: a meeting at which
people talk in order to ask
questions and get information
Interrogation: a process where
someone is asked questions in a
thorough and often forceful way
Instructions for Teachers

Page 2: Warm Up Activities
Page 3&4: Grammar Meets Conversation
1. In order to better be able to spark conversation, students must be
able to formulate questions quickly and automatically. This is a skill
that most ESL students do not possess. The “Grammar Meets Conver-
sation” pages aim to increase students questioning accuracy and flu-
ency.
2. Have students complete the questions with the correct word from
among the four choices (A, B, C, D). This can be done as individual or
pair work, or as a whole class activity. This task should be completed
with a quickened pace to mimic the type of urgency found in many
conversational settings. Upon completion, review the answers to en-
sure everyone begins the next step with the correct question
prompts.
3. Being the Interview activity by pairing students up with a classmate
they are friendly with and have them ask a question. Have students
record the answers of their partners in the spaces provided below
each question . Be sure students record with whom they spoke and
what was said (there is space for a name and response).
4. Upon completion, have students switch partners and repeat the pro-
cess until all of the blanks on each page are filled in. With a large
class, students will have the opportunity to talk with each person at
least once. In smaller classes, students will be able to ask each person
they meet a higher number of questions.
1. Encourage students to prepare to answer questions by using an
English-to-English dictionary, or translation dictionary at home.
This is an opportunity for students to expand their vocabulary.
2. Remind students that the warm up activity is not a race, that it is
meant to start a conversation.
3. The students should focus on answering all questions, but not feel
pressured to race through the answers at the expense of student
talk time.
4. Make sure that you write out the question & answer in a complete
sentence on the board. This will improve the accuracy and fluency
of both the interviewer and interviewee.

8
Page 5&6: Conversation Starters
1. This is the most important step in the speaking process. Each ques-
tion is designed to start a conversation. Students already know the
answers because every question is about them. This is their oppor-
tunity to write down their answer and use it to speak.
2. Students read the questions and teachers should read the questions
aloud so that students have an opportunity to listen and practice the
pronunciation. This will help improve student thinking and speaking.
3. Encourage students to think about possible follow-up questions that
could be asked for each example answer. Conversations require
questions. This practice will help students use more questions in their
conversations.
4. Elaboration is one of the key elements of a good answer. Remind
students that a short answer is acceptable, but a detailed answer is
always more desirable.
5. Remind students that to be a good conversationalist, they must also
make comments about what their partner has said.
6. Finally, have students answer the questions. If students struggle to
answer the questions on their own, illicit some example responses
from other students in the class. This will serve as a natural conver-
sation model and help students fill out their answer pages more
easily.
7. Writing out their responses will help them speak longer and more
smoothly. The fill-in the blank model is meant to help them write
well-organized sentences.
These pages give students a chance to think about what they
want to say before they have to say it. As my mother always says:
“Make sure whatever you are saying is worth hearing.”

9
Page 7&8: Table Talk—Let’s Eat
1. Talk Talk! provides focus, variety, and repetition, the engine for im-
proving conversational English ability.
2. Have students sit in pairs (one student is the interviewer, the other is
the interviewee) in straight rows if possible (If the seating is not or-
derly, switching partners can quickly turn into chaos.)
3. If you choose to put students into groups of three (pairs are encour-
aged, especially in the first few table talk rounds), have one student
act as the M.C. and interview the other two students.
4. This activity is meant to be carried out like speed dating (One inter-
esting topic, many partners, many opportunities for students to im-
prove their answers).
5. Every five to ten minutes, students will switch partners. Remind them
to say goodbye and hello; stress the importance of greetings and
salutations. (Later, See you later, Bye for now, Gotta go, Nice to see
you again, How do you do, I like your hair today...etc.)
6. In one class, students will switch four to six times. In an average les-
son, students will switch ten to twelve times and never have the same
partner again. That is three or four weeks without talking to the same
person twice. Talk about variety! If you have to explain your favorite
meal ten times, you will surely improve.
7. If students’ questions or answers are not understood, they have to try
to communicate in different ways until they find one that works. Stu-
dents will always be paired with a stronger conversationalist (who
can help them improve) or a weaker conversationalist (who can pro-
vide an opportunity for them to focus on reinforcing what they al-
ready know), each providing a unique learning opportunity.
Page 9 The Final Talk—Writing a Five-Sentence Paragraph
Writing Sample
Read the writing sample. This will serve as an example and give
students a chance to preview the writing assignment and begin
to brainstorm about their own answer to the writing prompt.
Writing Outline
The writing outline provides students with step-by-step guidance
to write a five-sentence paragraph in response to the unit’s writ-
ing prompt.

10
 A conversation has two parts: listening & speaking.
 To be a good conversationalist, you must learn how to listen and speak
well. This means you must be able to both ask & answer questions
well.
 Don’t worry too much about perfect grammar.
 It is better to give four sentences with a few mistakes than one sen-
tence with perfect grammar.
 Elaboration: make it longer!
 Try to give 2-3 complete sentences for each question. Make your an-
swers longer.
Things to Remember!
1. Word associations help students develop their vocabulary by giving
them an opportunity to make a match with one of the commonly
used vocabulary words from the lesson. (synonym, antonym, high
frequency word...etc.)
2. Encourage students to come up with the best or most creative an-
swer, not only the first word that comes to mind.
3. The “’Top Five’ Coolest Things” give students a chance to reflect on
what their partners have said (improves listening) and to write down
their thoughts. It also gives you some insight into the personality of
your students, and the directions the conversations have gone.
4. Finally have students make a question for you to answer. Answer the
question and select their best word association choice before signing
off on their work.

You and Me
We are all unique. Whether you like to fit in with the crowd or stand out and be noticed, no two
people are exactly the same. Even identical twins have their differences.
Some people like to play sports, others want to paint pictures, and some want to play on their
game consoles. Perhaps you like to chill out with a book or hang out with your friends? Is your
ideal snack some “fast food” or a tasty, crunchy apple?
Our differences, our gifts, and our talents are what make us one of a kind. They make us valua-
ble to our schools, communities, and the world we live in.
When you look in a mirror at your reflection what do you see? Who is the person staring back at
you?
Expression Meaning
Fit in with the crowd to match up or be the same as a group of people
Stand out
a person or thing that is better or more important
than the others in a group
Identical twins
two babies that are born at the same time to the
same mother who look exactly alike
Chill out to spend time relaxing
Hang out

“What is the best part about you?”
The best part about me is my work ethic or my ability to work hard and do my very best all the
time. First of all, I like to do my very best in anything I do. Whether I am teaching in a classroom or washing
the dishes in my kitchen sink, I want to give 100% effort to it. In addition, working hard and working well are
habits and we can train ourselves to do both. I like to train myself to do my very best. Lastly, if I am giving my
time to something, I want to do my very best because the time I have is a gift, and I want to spend that gift of
my time wisely. In conclusion, the part of me that is better than all the others is my work ethic. There is
an old saying, “Do the little things well and the big things will take care of themselves.” To me, this
means that if you do one thing well, you will do everything well.

Play
Playtime! Love it or hate it, at least some of us get playtime every day. Imagine a huge play-
ground filled with people of all ages just having fun – not hurting anyone, just enjoying playing
games on their own and with each other.
They might be playing tennis or X-box games. They might be playing imaginary zoo games or
soccer. They might be dancing or playing music or having a party. They could be playing com-
puter games, playing a part in a play, playing a board game, or just having a laugh. Playing
comes in all shapes and sizes.
But perhaps some people don't make time to play anymore. Maybe they can't see the point.
And they're right: there is no point in play. That's the whole point – play is just for fun! That's all
it's for – not to make money or impress someone else with how good at it we are, or to beat
everyone else. It's pure and simple pleasure.
Expression Meaning
On one’s own without anyone or anything else
Imaginary
not real: existing only in your mind or imagina-
tion
Having a laugh to laugh; to joke; to have fun and enjoy oneself
Come in all shapes and sizes many different types of people or things
Make time
to cause an amount of time to be available for an
activity
See the point to understand (something)
Just for fun
behavior or activities that are not serious;
games or jokes

Topic Sentence: My favorite way to spend free-time is __________________________________________________.
Reason 3: Lastly, _____________________________________________________________________________________________.
“What is your favorite way to spend free-time?”
My favorite way to spend free-time is trying to cook and bake new foods. First of all, cooking,
especially cooking new foods, is extremely time-consuming, so I only try to cook new foods when I have a lot
of free-time. In addition, when I cook or bake new foods and they taste great, not only I, but my friends and
family also get to enjoy the delicious new taste and flavors. Lastly, one of the best ways to spend our free
time is by improving ourselves. Learning or enhancing an important skills is one of the best (and most deli-
cious) ways to do get better as people. In conclusion, whenever I have free time, I head straight to the
kitchen. Cooking and baking are two of my life passions and I want to learn to do both better. To me
pick a favorite way to spend my free-time is easy as pie, or baking a pie.

Sports
To win an Olympic gold medal or a sports championship you need several things to fall into
place: a great team of people to look after you; family and friends who care for you; a belief that
you can win; and the capacity to read your sport and your opponents.
For those who stand on the podium of success, sports are not something that you measure in
trophies alone but also something that has to do with our attitude toward our opponents, the
quality of relationships that we have with teammates, the ability of our mind and body work in
tandem, and how we manage our emotions when we win or lose.
People have different views on what makes for an enjoyable sporting experience as a spectator
or athlete, but whatever you love about sports, recalling memorable playing highlights, remi-
niscing on matches and players past, or debate over “the GOAT”, one thing is for sure, everyone
loves sports!
Expression Meaning
Fall into place begin to make sense or become understandable
Look after to take care of (someone or something)
Read
to learn information about (something) by look-
ing at particular characteristics
Stand on the podium to win or be successful at something
Work in tandem to work together at the same time
Spectator
a person who watches an event, show, game, ac-
tivity, etc., often as part of an audience

Topic Sentence: The best sport/exercise is ________________________________________________________________.
Reason 3: Lastly, _____________________________________________________________________________________________.
“What is the best sport in the world?”
The best sport in the world is basketball. First of all, it is the only team sport that you can play
with as few as two people. Sports like baseball, football, and soccer have big teams and are not fun with a
small number of players, but in basketball, a one-on-one game can be as fun as a five-on-five game. In ad-
dition, basketball is very inexpensive to play. There is no expensive equipment, all you need to play basket-
ball is a ball and a net. Unlike soccer, basketball can be played on a small court both indoors and outdoors.
Lastly, basketball is a very active game. The action on both offense and defense is non-stop, so even if you
don’t have the ball the game can feel very exciting. On the other hand, most other sports are really only fun
for the people with the ball. In conclusion, if you are looking for a fun, cheap, and fast-paced sport
that you can play with big groups or small, there is no question that basketball is the best sport in
the world.

Movies
Who doesn’t love movies? Whether it is a big-budget superhero movie with an ensemble cast, a
romantic comedy with great chemistry between two lead actors, or an educational documentary
about an issue of the day; movies are a great way to escape reality for a while and sometimes
even learn something new.
Movies mean popcorn, soda, candy, and being with family or friends in a big-screen cinema the-
ater to see your favorite actors and actresses tell an amazing story.
However, these days, the way we watch movies is changing. Long gone are the days of the Sun-
day double-feature, and here are the days of YouTube clips and movie trailers that are often
better than the actual movie!
So, what makes a movie enjoyable to you? Is it the exciting plot twists, climactic fights, special
effects, or maybe even some great dialogue between your favorite stars and starlets?
Expression Meaning
Ensemble cast
a group of people or things that make up a com-
plete unit (a group of actors or dancers )
Chemistry a strong attraction between people
Escape reality
to get away from something that is difficult or
unpleasant
Long gone
having ended, died, disappeared, etc., at a distant
time in the past
Double-feature two movies that are shown one after the other
Plot twists
an unexpected change to the things
that happen in a story

Topic Sentence: I think seeing a movie ________________________ is better than ___________________________.
Reason 3: Lastly, _____________________________________________________________________________________________.
“Which is better, seeing a movie at home or in the theaters?”
I think seeing a movie in the theaters is better than at home. First of all, the main reason we
watch movies is to experience the spectacle on the big screen and with big sound. A home entertain-
ment system does not compare to a high-quality movie theater. In addition, movie theaters have a
huge selection of food and drink to choose from. Of course we can buy snacks at the store and eat them
at home, but the feeling is not the same. Lastly, one of the most important parts of going to a movie
theater is to see a movie before anyone else sees it. If you see a movie at home, you have to wait for
many months before it becomes available. In conclusion, the choice is clear. Seeing a movie in the
theaters is far better than seeing a movie at home because the audio & video, food & drink, and
new movie options are superior at the cinema.

Today there are almost as many mobile phones on the planet as there are people.
In the recent past it would have taken up to three months to send a message to a relative
somewhere else in the world. Now, it is possible to instantly have a conversation with anyone
almost anywhere in the world.
You can upload a video this morning that if it went viral could be seen by millions of people by
this evening. If you like playing virtual games then you can challenge someone online from your
street, city, country, or a different continent and language altogether.
Technology is advancing at a breakneck pace and while it brings huge amounts of help to our
lives, how do we ensure that we can strike a balance between the benefits of technology while
still being mindful of the dangers?

Topic Sentence: I think technology should/should not be allowed everywhere.
Reason 3: Lastly, _____________________________________________________________________________________________.
“There should be places where technology is not allowed.”
I think technology should be allowed everywhere. First of all, the only reason we do not
have telecommunications everywhere already is because of the technical limitations. If we have the tech-
nology to expand telecommunications, we should. In addition, technology has become an important
part of our lives and blocking high-tech gadgets in some places will not change peoples habits, just de-
lay them. Lastly, one of the most important parts of going to a place like Mount Fuji is sharing the expe-
rience with someone else. However, many tourists and travelers come to tourist attractions by them-
selves. If people are allowed to use their technology, they will be able to share their experience with
their loved ones’ in real-time. In conclusion, technology should be allowed to be used everywhere
and people should have the choice to use or not to use.

Friends
Sleepovers, sending texts, birthday parties, arguments and falling out, laughing until your sides
hurt and jumping the line for school assembly so you can sit beside them...friends are really im-
portant.
Sometimes they make you angry, sometimes they make you cry, sometimes they are willing to
swap your boring apples for tasty treats from their lunch boxes.
There are people in this room who may be your friend for the rest of your life. Others you might
forget once you move on to your next school. Your friends are just like your family, only you get
to choose your friends, but you don’t get to choose your family. So choose your friends wisely
Let’s explore what it means to be BFFs.
Expression Meaning
Sleepovers
a party where one or more people (especially
children) stay overnight at one person's house
Falling out a serious argument or disagreement
Laughing until your sides hurt to laugh so hard your stomach begins to hurt

asking
Swap

thing in return: to trade or exchange
Tasty treat

Happiness
Wellbeing & happiness equals good food, good grades, and good friends...Or does it?
Is that only a formula for a happy time at university or can it be a mantra for life? Will what
makes you happy now make you happy as you grow older?
Happiness is the Holy Grail of modern culture. Many governments measure policy by it. There
are happiness rating systems for the best place to live, the best job to have and the best laptop
to own!
We all have our own formula for the happy or “good life”, whether conscious or subconscious.
What is yours? How has your idea of the good life changed over the years? And what would
make you happy at this moment?
Expression Meaning
Wellbeing the state of being happy, healthy, or successful
Mantra
a word or phrase that is repeated often or that
expresses someone's basic beliefs
Holy Grail
something that you want very much but that is
very hard to get or achieve
Culture
the beliefs, customs, arts, etc., of a particular soci-
ety, group, place, or time
Good life a happy and enjoyable life
Conscious
aware of something (such as a fact or feel-
ing) : knowing that something exists or is hap-
pening — usually conscious of or conscious that
Subconscious
existing in the part of the mind that a person is
not aware of; existing in the mind but not con-
sciously known or felt

Topic Sentence: Pets are a good/bad way to feel happy because____________________________________________.
Reason 3: Lastly, ____________________________________________________________________________________________.
“Is having a pet a good way to feel happy?”
My dog is my best friend. I think having a pet is a great way to be happier because pets help
reduce stress and increase happiness. First of all, having a pet is like having another member of your
family who loves you. Sometimes we get angry at our family members, but we always care about and love
them. The same goes for pets, they reduce more stress than they make. In addition, a pet only wants to
show you that it loves you because it loves its owner more than anything else in the world. Lastly, a pet
needs to be exercised outdoors to be healthy, so do people. This will help reduce the owners stress by mak-
ing him or her walk in nature and get fresh air every day. In conclusion, having a pet (dog, cat, bird,
fish….etc.) is a great way to reduce stress, stay healthy, and have a connection to nature—pets will
definitely make you happier.

Opinions
Would you rather be given a small amount of money every day for the rest of your life, or a very
large one-off gift tomorrow? What would you do with the money you’d been given? Would you
spend it, save it or share it? Blow it all or stash it all?
We make lots of little decisions about mundane things every day: do you like cereal or toast for
breakfast? Maybe you don’t even eat breakfast?
As you get older you’ll start to make more important decisions. Sometimes there will be an ob-
vious choice. At other times you will have to choose the best option for you. Some choices you
make will be important, like what sort of job you’d like to do when you’re older. However,
choosing which football team to be a fan of might not be such a big decision!
Your ideas and decisions count. Let’s see what you think about some of the “big questions” in
life.
Expression Meaning
One-off done or happening only once
Blow it
to spend or waste (a large amount of money) in a
foolish way
Stash it
to put (something) in a secret or hidden place to
save for safe keeping
Mundane dull and ordinary
Obvious choice
something easy for the mind to understand or
recognize and pick
Fan
a person who likes and admires someone (such
as a famous person) or something (such as a
sport or a sports team) in a very enthusiastic way
Count to have value or importance

Topic Sentence: I would (not) take the job because _____________________________________________________.
Reason 3: Lastly, ____________________________________________________________________________________________.
“Would you want to be a doctor in a small town?”
Being a doctor is a great job, but there is no way I would want to take this job. First of
all, I am from New York City, so I would not want to live in a small countryside town like, and I def-
initely would not want to like in a small town in a small country. In addition, having a lot of money
in salary is great, but only if you are able to spend it on things and at places you want. In such a
small town, it will be really hard to find the things you want. Lastly, working in such a small com-
munity and treating the same patients for the same illness all the time can be boring. Doctors want
new challenges and want to treat new sickness. In conclusion, I would love to take a job as a
doctor, but just not a job so far away from the city.

3-Star Speaking Scoring Page
1. In this activity, seven students are selected to be student-teachers and ask
questions to their classmates.
2. Guidelines for what constitutes a 0, 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star answer. Each
star is scored as follows:
0 = No response (student didn't answer the question or spoke in Kore-
an)
1 = A short one-word or phrase response (yes, no, burger, good, I
don't know)
2 = A complete sentence (at least subject + verb/object if available)
3 = An elaborative complete sentence or complex sentence (use of
details from the question, adjectives, adverbs, opinion, improved word
choice)
3. Students Respond to the question they are asked to the best of their ability.
After their classmates have finished answering, they are given a score by
their student-teachers for their response.
4. Using this technique teachers and student-teachers can hold up 0, 1, 2, or
3 fingers which preview students’ scores which gives students an oppor-
tunity to stretch out their answers. If students are non-responsive, teachers
and student-teachers can use prompting techniques, such as asking a sim-
plified question, providing example answers, or starting a complete sen-
tence for the speaker to finish, encouraging students to generate their own
answers.
Teacher Tip: The purpose of this activity is to encourage students to increase
their words per utterance (WPU is the number of words students use each time
they speak) and promote more meaningful answers.

Name Your Favorite Board Game
Name Your Favorite provides an opportunity for students to talk about their favorite
things in a variety of categories. Like About Me, Name Your Favorite gives students
practice using vocabulary and expressions that they may need to talk about them-
selves in English. Teachers may want to remind students of the use of the clause
“because…” in addition to superlative adjectives such as “the best” and “the happiest.”
Instructions
1. Have students (the players) sit in groups of 3–4.
2. Determine who goes first and progress clockwise or counter-clockwise.
3. Each player rolls the dice in turn.
4. On their turns, the players move their game pieces along the path according to the
number of spaces indicated by the dice.
5. When players land on a space, they should read the category on the square.
6. The players should say their favorite item in that category and explain why it is their
favorite.
7. The game continues until one or all players reach the ‘Finish’ space.

All About Me Board Game
About Me lets students practice using English to express their opinions and prefer-
ences about a number of different topics.
Instructions
1. Have students (the players) sit in groups of 3–4.
2. Determine who goes first and whether the turns will progress clockwise or counter-
clockwise.
3. Each player rolls the dice in turn.
4. On their turns, the players move their game pieces along the path according to the
number of spaces indicated by the dice.
5. Players then finish the sentence written on the space (called a “prompt” or a “cue”)
where they land, using personal experience, imagination, and/or critical thinking skills.
6. Note that some spaces, like 6, 13, and 17 in About Me, penalize players by requiring
them to go back to an earlier space. These are meant to increase the “chance” aspect
of the game and usually foster mildly negative feelings for a moment, but it is all in
fun! The victim will probably groan; the other players will probably laugh.
7. The game continues until one or all players reach the ‘Finish’ space.
