Hello all,

I was talking with my co-teacher and another Korean teacher at my school about teaching an English class to the faculty at my school.

The main problem is that they are at vastly different levels. I plan on breaking them up into groups based on ability and tackling it from there. However I imagine there will be 3-4 groups and only me teaching the class.

I only have about an hour and a half to teach them so I need something that can be prepared in advance and taught in 5-10 minute segments as I move from group to group.

Anyone have any experience in this? Apparently the last teacher at my school never taught English to the faculty so they cant really give me any input.

Also a major problem is the old school teachers read and write well but can't speak well. While the younger teachers speak better but need grammar and vocab work.

Shoot me any ideas or good links.

It depends upon the type of teaching/training you will be doing; are you doing teacher training and workshops/seminars? Are you going to provide general English teaching?

I will be be doing weekly lessons, so just general English. The faculty is at such different levels that it will be hard to get seriously into themes.

I will be doing seminar type stuff this summer so it would be helpful to have suggestions for that as well if you have any.

I'm mainly worried because some faculty will need basic grammar and sentence structure, others vocab and pronunciation and others still just the finer points of syntax and semantics.
