Give your students something worth talking about.

Every lesson starts with a question that doesn't have an easy answer, six to eight expressions your students will actually use, and a speaking task with a real goal, not ten more discussion questions. Built for adults and older teens, B1 to C1.

Why Big Talk Club

What actually makes us different

Ideas worth discussing

Every lesson starts from a real question, not a broad topic from a textbook. Instead of tourism, we ask whether overtourism is ruining the places we want to visit.

Speaking with a real purpose

Students don't just answer discussion questions. They rank options, choose a side, defend it and try to change someone else's mind.

Language that comes back

New vocabulary and phrases return in the exercises, the speaking tasks and the homework, so students actually remember them instead of meeting them once and forgetting them.
