Ask and Taskis an innovative, highly interactive resource that brings genuine communication, critical thinking, and purposeful language practice into the ESL/EFL classroom. Built around photocopiable Question Cards and Task Cards for forty high-interest topics, the book invites learners to explore real-life issues, share personal opinions, negotiate meaning, and collaborate on creative projects. The blend of open-ended questions and hands-on tasks encourages students to move beyond short answers and into richer, more spontaneous communication.

The Question Cards prompt students to examine ideas that matterfamily, work, relationships, values, ambition, identity, culture, and personal choices. Discussions unfold naturally as students respond, explain their reasoning, and compare experiences. The Task Cards then extend the conversation into meaningful production: learners write r?sum?s, design companies, plan events, brainstorm concepts, or create new products. These tasks are purposeful, engaging, and grounded in authentic communication.

This dual structure supports all four language skills while giving teachers a ready-made system for generating full lessons with minimal preparation. Because each topic includes multiple cards and prompts, the resource is ideal for pair work, group projects, conversation circles, speaking assessments, or integrated-skills classes. Students take ownership of the learning process as they shift from discussing ideas to producing something tangible that reflects those ideas.

Versatile, creative, and deeply communicative,Ask and Taskfosters a classroom environment where learners talk more, think more, and work togetherexactly what meaningful language learning requires.

• Forty high-interest topics, each with multiple photocopiable Question Cards and a corresponding Task Card.
