Conversation Starters: Elections

Our “Talk About Elections” ESL conversation booster pack helps students discuss elections with ease. Inspired by the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, it includes printable PDF cards and JPEGs for smartboard or online use, making it an ideal resource for ESL teachers.

The 2024 U.S. Presidential Election is a hot topic across American news outlets, and it’s something everyone seems to be talking about. But discussing elections in your ESL classroom doesn’t have to be overwhelming or require deep political knowledge. Our “Talk About Elections” ESL conversation booster pack is designed to engage students without needing a detailed background on the election. Inspired by current events, this pack includes thought-provoking conversation starters that make it easy to talk about elections in ESL lessons.

This pack is perfect for sparking meaningful discussions about elections, democracy, and political processes with your students, while also building their language skills. It comes with 14 conversation starters.

The ZIP file includes:

  • A printable PDF version of the conversation starters for classroom use.
  • A ZAPPLI folder with JPEG cards for easy use in online classes or with a smartboard.

We also recommend trying our ZAPPLI application, which makes working with JPEGs in online classrooms or on smartboards even smoother. Get your students talking about elections with confidence, in a way that’s accessible, relevant, and fun.

After you’re done talking about how silly these elections are, take a look at this:

I have been teaching English abroad since receiving my CELTA certificate in Poland in 2018. I enjoy tracking my individual students’ development but love having lessons with big groups! Now that I teach online, I am accompanied by my sidekicks Olaf, Mała, Pirate and Bandit on a regular basis.

It takes a team of 13 to create and produce this material. In order for that to continue, please think about purchasing your own subscription to ESL Expertz and encourage your colleagues to do the same. We appreciate your confidence and support!
