I agree about controversy as a stimulus to speaking.
I scour the newspapers every day for topical issues to stimulate discussion, so ready made activities will be a welcome addition.

What about topics for small talk or vocabulary or expressions for negotiations? Expressions for agreeing and disagreeing. Phrasal verbs for polite English. Polite English expressions for business English.
