Hi, I've seen threads on this a few months ago, but I can't get the search function to work today. Anyway, what do people normally do with their teachers' classes? I have a class once a week with 3-5 English teachers. Their English is pretty good, and they can converse on most topics. I try to mix it up---grammar, culture, current events---and I/they don't like to just do articles. Any ideas for something fresh? Do people in this situation just "free talk" around a topic? What conversation topics work? How do you supplement these topics for when free talking isn't enough? (Oh, and I've seen breakingnewsenglish.com, but it's a little too dry and tedious for what my classes are now, so please don't champion that.) Any tips would be great. Thanks.

I'd take a look at my Teaching Adults powerpoint

The best tip is to keep it about their interests, lives. Also well structured, they want to have confidence in you as a teacher. Teaching adults essentially is all about trust and rapport. The ppt uses Vella as a way of explaining the fundamentals of teaching adults.

We also have a whole thread on this topic with ideas.
