We had to debate in groups, some groups had 2 members and others 3, my group was a debate of 3 persons per team. My team was Fernando Nuñez, Paul Eggeling, Jose Kitzing, Defending the motion: "Language is a learnt construct like the rules governing a sport" against the team of Martin Macchiavello, Joaquin Rodriguez and Benjamin Ugarte, they were defending the motion "Humans are born with a ability to create language"
In our team, we used as Arguments that Language is a system based on Rules, Language is learnt because of these who sorround us, and other types of communication such as reading lips and Sign language.
It was a fun and competetive activity. Also good to develope speaking and atention, because you cant just go and say what you have written on paper or memorized, you have to comprehend what the other team is defending, so then, taking your point of view, say your opinion about it.
