Hi everyone, this is my first time teaching a university in China. Last year, I taught elementary. This experience involved a slight learning curve, but I felt it was a success at the end.
So, I am asking for any advise, suggestions, etc... I will be teaching Oral English. My classes are divided into two 45 minute periods. I am curious, what has (or hasn't) worked well in the past for everyone? Thanks for your help.

Oral English... University
How about focusing on using movies and audiobooks.
A great way to do this would be to first read a section of the movies script (or English subtitles... pausing to slow it down. Then play the corresponding scene(s) several times. Again, you could pause at times to explain what's happening, ask questions, note slang or new vocab, etc....
Audiobooks would also be great. In fact, you could combine reading, audiobooks, and movies. For example, require students to read Harry Potter as homework (give them an assignment to read a Chapter a week or so). You can ask them to keep a notebook of new vocab they learn from each chapter... check it at the beginning of each class.
Then play a CD (audiobook) recording of that chapter in class. Afterwards, you could lead a discussion of the chapter.
Towards the end of the course... after the book had been read and the audiobook was finished.. you could show the entire movie from start to finish.

I taught "Oral English" at universities in Taiwan for many years. Here are a few tips that I picked up:
- Try to involve the students as much as possible. Ask them questions, have them write things up on the board, get them to use the language in your book to make new questions and statements.
- Put a lot of variety and surprises into your classes. Try to think of as many ways as possible to alter the class week by week. Activities using music, kinaesthetic activities (where they move around, instead of sitting in their desks), and games all go over well.
- Give them a review session every 2 or 3 weeks. This reinforces the words, phrases, and sentences they have been using in class.
- Learn as many short fillers as you can, and use them to keep the energy level up. Here are a few of my favorites:
*1* Announce that you have an interesting way to solve problems. Ask them first to tell you some of their problems. Write these up on the board. Then grab a dictionary. Call on someone to come up and find a word in the dictionary without looking (close their eyes and point). Tell the student to call out the word and its definition. Now get everybody to brainstorm a solution for the problem that this word brings to mind. Encourage them to be creative, and try to get several answers. Repeat the process for the other problems on the board.
*2* Put students in small groups (4 or 5 students). Give them 10 minutes to think of things they all have in common and write them down (for example, We all have cell phones or We all have noisy neighbors). When time's up, have each group read out their list. Tell the other students to listen carefully, and applaud when they hear another group say something that's on their list.
*3* Bring a small gift to class. Tell the students that they will win the gift if they can sit in the chair for one minute without laughing. Ask for volunteers, or you can just choose someone. Now, do everything you can to make them laugh: make crazy faces, farting sounds, silly dances, etc. Variation: you can have them try to make you laugh.
*4* Tell your students that you are going to tell them the story of your day up until you came to class. Their job is to interrupt you as much as they can with questions, so you don't get to school. Begin your story with waking up. If they don't join in right away, give them some suggestions for questions - "How long did it take you to brush your teeth?" "Why did you decide to put on that shirt?"
*5* Write up 6 categories on the board (some examples are household objects, cities, countries, animals, foods, beverages, parts of the body, girls names, boys names, rock bands, movie titles...). Now put the students in groups of 3 or 4 and tell them that in a minute, you are going to give them a letter. They have to find words for each category that start with the letter. When they get the answer, they have to shout at the top of their lungs "STOP THE BUS!!!!". Then you check over their answers to make sure there are no mistakes. If they got it all right, they get a point. Play it again several times with different letters and different categories. Note: You might want to check in advance that there are answers in all categories for the letters you plan to use...

I hope everything goes great for you at your university job!
