How to use the fashion ESL discussion questions

It is recommended that you download the fashion ESL discussion questions in PDF format using one of the links above. The best way to encourage classroom interaction is to download and print the fashion discussion questions in the 'pairs' or 'threes' PDF format and then divide the questions by cutting along the dotted lines. This allows students to take turns asking and answering the fashion discussion questions in groups of two or three. Alternatively, you could use the 'cards' format to distribute the questions to any number of students to ask and share.

It is advisable to prepare students for using these discussion questions by first introducing them to the topic of fashion in an interesting and engaging way. An anecdote, quiz question or a related image or video could all be used to achieve this. Depending on the level, it may also be necessary to pre-teach any challenging vocabulary related to fashion contained in the discussion questions.
