I would turn the class into a professional development class. This does two things, it shows respect and you can teach each other new tricks. Also it makes the classes highly discussion oriented, which will definitely be what they want, to speak. Break it down into presentations from each teacher, on an area of teaching that they feel they are quite good at in the core four. and keep the presentations down to no more than 30 minutes. Then you can discuss the tactics as a group and share ideas and experiences. If there will only be a few classes, group the teachers together to make the presentations. Trust me, you will have a stellar good time talking about experiences and make friends and most importantly gain some professional respect. Another tweak is to bring some tea and hot water, maybe a little snack, they love seeds.

I quite agree with the post above. Turning it into pro development classes would be professional. I'd add some classes of how to evaluate students and how to encourage their creativity even in exams. However, all this may not be expected from the employer. I bet it's about some sort of cultural exchange and oral practice that's supposed to make the local pros look more locally professional in future.
