Here's the scenario:

3x per week, same 12 students at a public high school. Debating whether not to use something like Interchange or something similar with them. Anyone had a class that often in PS? I'm sorta used to teaching my kids only once every two weeks, so it's throwing me for a loop.

I know on our TEFL course we used something like Interchange with our small groups, with some additional supplementation of course.

Any ideas would be great!

American Adventure.

I'm trying to get a copy of it.

Adventure by OUP was British English but very good book, aimed at Teens.

I'll check into both of those titles. I wouldn't mind using a Brit Eng book, hell in my opinion in regards to ESL the Brits are light years of us yanks anyways.

Touchstone worked well for my after-school high school kids. You can pick it up in just about any Bandi and Lunis or Kyobo.

The topics are relevant to their age and each unit is divided into four sections. Worth a look, anyway.

I wanted to add that physical activities are manageable with groups that small, so you can read about some games for the classroom online. It would be a nice break from their having to stay seated during normal school hours.

I work at a rural elementary school. My afterschool class meets 4x a week--same students (there are 10 of them). Each class was 80 minutes. For the first 2 months, I taught them anything I wanted. Basically, I downloaded this reading comprehension thing from esnips (there are 9 levels).

Then the school ordered this book called PELT 3 step for me. I've been teaching from it ever since. It's mostly in Korean..which makes it hard sometimes, but I manage to supplement it with worksheets & etc. I agree that it's difficult.
