I am at the moment putting together a curriculum and choosing textbooks for my new high school job.

Got some ideas rattling round my head at the moment, but thought I might draw upon the learned knowledge here on Dave's.

What are some good ideas for textbooks for Korean high schools and some good ideas for a curriculum that have worked for you?

Your help is most appreciated, and renumeration may involve alcohol.

How large are your classes? What level are your students? Public or Private highschool? Any special classes that you are expected to teach?

To clarify, it's your typical co-ed private high school with three different age groups composed of students with various different English levels(none higher than pre-intermediate) and 30 to 35 per class. The Korean portion of the English Language program has been in place for a number of years and follows the standard Gyeonggi do high school cirriculum.

The waegukin native speaker conversation classes are a new thing and I've been tasked with setting them up. Been given a lot of leeway in this and a sizable budget to draw from. Only criteria I have to follow is to focus primarily on conversation and improving the students speaking skills.

How often are the classes and how long are they in duration?

While I have some experience of curriculum development at the university level from my China days, and of course from my CELTA course, I have absolutely zero,zilch experience regarding high school students in a formal setting.
