MORE QUALITY CONVERSATION BOOKS FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS – AND TEACHERS!

We’ve updated our catalog with two new Compelling Conversations titles: a second edition of Compelling Conversations – Vietnam, and Compelling Conversations for Fundraisers. We’ll also introducing two exceptional ELT textbooks by USC Assistant Professor J.J. Polk, my friend and colleague at the USC American Language Institute: English in Global Contexts: Proficiency Tasks for Aspiring Learners and English Questions: Practice Drills in All Active Tenses. Both little-known ELT titles deserve a much larger audience and far more recognition.

Eric H. Roth teaches international graduate students the pleasures and perils of academic writing and public speaking in English at the University of Southern California (USC). He also consults English language schools on communicative methods to effectively teach English. Roth co-authored Compelling Conversations: Questions and Quotations on Timeless Topics in 2006 to help English language learners increase their English fluency. Recommended by English Teaching Professional magazine, the advanced ESL textbook has been used in over 50 countries in English classrooms and conversation clubs. Easy English Times, an adult literacy newspaper, has published a monthly column, “Instant Conversation Activities,” based on the book since 2008. The first specific version for a particular country, Vietnam, was published in 2011. Compelling American Conversations came out in 2012, and Compelling Conversations – Japan arrived in 2015.
