Talk about space: 90 conversation prompts

Talk about space: 90 conversation prompts for intermediate to advanced English learners

Stimulate discussion in English with these conversation prompt cards all about space, space travel, and life off Earth!

With this set of 90 conversation prompts, help your students practise language patterns commonly used to discuss our universe, and the future of humanity within it.

This set allows your students to use vocabulary and language they might be interested in, but have little chance to discuss. From scientific language to predictions and hopes, example questions include:

What are the chances of extraterrestrial life in our solar system?
Will humanity ever colonize other planets?
How do stars form?
What causes an eclipse?
What is a black hole?
Will humanity ever find another habitable planet?
What is a light year?
What are the characteristics of Jupiter?
What causes seasons on a planet?
Can you explain the Big Bang theory?
How many people have walked on the moon?

… and many more!

These conversation prompts allow you students to identify and learn common patterns in English grammar in a natural, communicative way, while making the class personal to them and their interests. Question forms are repeated a number of times, to allow for natural but efficient uptake of language.

Each set comes with prompts colour coded by topic, but they can be mixed in many ways to elicit natural conversations.

These cards are suitable for intermediate to advanced learners.
Enliven your language classroom with engaging discussions!
