I love that rule...it gives me a chance to relax in class, do a little lesson prep maybe so I don't have to outside of teaching hours. Wink

What else would you do? are there particular games and activities to get them being a bit more interactive. I was also thinking of introducing some topics as i did in my free talking class such as feelings about Japan to inevitably evoke responses but I guess this could be hard since its quite a simple level still. Anyone have any suggestion


I have some basic questions...

1. They are adults, which I can glean from the "I teach adults" statement. But what kind? Older Buisness types? College students?

2. What level? Can they make a complete sentence?

3. Tell me a little more about the learning enviroment.. Big classes? One on one? One month classes?
