Does this help students understand other cultures and people around the world or is it a waste of time? What reasons can you give for your opinion? Check out arguments on both sides of the issue, then it’s your turn to answer the question: learning a second language, yes or no? Featuring engaging reading activities and relatable content, the simple-to-follow book, Learning a Second Language, Yes or No?, allows young learners to construct their own persuasive statements. The Seeing Both Sides series encourages young learners to research and support their own conclusions on a variety of long-debated topics. Readers will explore the pros and cons of each specific topic and gain a better understanding of differing opinions and why it is important to look at all the facts before making a decision. Each 24-page book features a teaching focus, before- and after-reading activities, writing tips, a glossary, and more, to effectively engage young learners and prompt them to explain their understanding.
