I am a first time teacher in a China college. This is my first time teaching and I'm overwhelmed. I'm trying to find good activiest for freashmen Oral English classes about 2 hours long and about 40 students per class. My school dean when I asked for help looked at me with a puzzled look on his face and told me to "go teach". Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
