Hi! Do you have a recommendation for a good curriculum book??? It's difficult to create new activities that gets students "talking" - even if they're just reciting scripted dialogues. I would love a course guideline. I work with ages 7-17 years old. If anyone has a useful text for any of these ages I would love to know about it. I don't teach Grammar. For the most part, I teach only conversation. I would need something useful in that area. Also, I have mixed strengths from beginner to advanced. I suppose I have more pre-intermediate students. ^_^ Thanks!!!!

Although conversation classes should be focused on some aspect of English whether it be grammar or otherwise, I can recommend one book for you junior high school kids and older. "small group discussion topics for Korean students". There is a version for highschool kids too. It's manly discussions focusing on vocab and fluency.

Chonjae has one of the best 7-12 textbooks/activity books. Each chapter has beginner, medium and advanced level activities.

Is Chonjae a bookstore or a textbook series? If it's a bookstore, could you give me directions to its location, pls?

All I am going to say is that all aboard and backpackers are trash.

Personaly I love good grammer books. You give them an expression. Show them how you can change individual parts of the expression and get the students to make new sentences over and over...and over again.
