Over the last several years at Karma, I’ve developed my own EFL debate curriculum. I’m quite happy with it. The working title for all the readers and workbooks I’ve created is Tell the World, with various subtitles, such as Tell the World: Debate Workbook or Tell the World: Debate Topics Reader 1.
Today, Curt set up a meeting between me and a friend he has who works for a Korean EFL publishing house. Does this mean what it seems like it might? Yes it does. We didn’t sign anything, but we agreed to meet again in September, and meanwhile I have some “deliverables” including a draft of my “Debate Topics Reader Level 1” and a “roadmap” of how I see a fully-fleshed debate curriculum working.
The upshot is that I might be publishing a book, soon – for the Korean EFL market.
[UPDATE some years later: This never happened, except to the extent I self-published using the copy machine at work to support my own teaching. It had been a great idea, though.]
How wonderful!
