Hi all,

Im looking for some help and advice. I am a new ESL teacher to Korea working in a public school and so far my school hasnt really offered me much support in preparing lesson planning or what topic to cover. The only advice I am given is "teach conversational english only". The school is in a really poor area so the kids level of language is very low and not many of them have the chance to go to a hakwon. The text books in my school are utterly useless and unuseable for conversational english. This is where I need help.

Can anyone out there recommend any appropriate books that I can purchase in Korea that offer me lots of ideas for conversational english that are directed mainly at elementary/ middle school students. Alternatively, what websites can anyone recommend that have advice on the best games to play.

I am basically looking for a book or material that I can use all year round and it has a certain structure to it.


Thanks in advance.
