I'm after ESL textbooks that focus on conversational development, which are light on vocab and reading exercises. Typical format where there is a theme like shopping, travel with target language then room enough to tailor to students individual needs. If you know of any I'll check them out.

I love the ex-pat magazines in Japan like Kansai Scene and Timeout, there a great way to find students and to get a honest description of the foreign countries. I would like to know about other Asian coutries, if you know of some let me know.
