I disagree with Sally. A year or two abroad is a great experience, but it will almost certainly set back your career in the UK. That is the choice you have to make. The days of employers being impressed by people living abroad are long gone.

As with many things, the easiest way into it is to try a textbook based on that philosophy. I've used Business Matters and Innovations, but they might both be a bit too UKcentric for your students. That also raises the question of whether it is possible to have a Lexical Approach that takes more acc...

A few truly Advanced textbooks deal with the latter, and you need to know where to put in pauses etc. It's a skill most native speakers don't have. The former is exactly the same skill of s...
