Really need some teaching material advice

Post by t.d. » Thu Dec 16, 2004 12:35 am

Hi, been teaching for almost a year now and have amassed alot of private students as of late.

I have children as well as adult students and they are in all various ranges of English ability.

My classes have no consistency and I am looking for a series of books that will cover all my needs. There are so many to choose from that I have no clue what to use. Any advice you can offer would be helpful.

Thank you.

materials for adults

I like the Language to Go series. Two-page units, some supplementary exercises in the back, listening cassette, interesting topics. I've used the intermediate and upper-intermediate books and am actually using some of the listening exercises this year in an EAP course in China.

You can also adapt the contents, objectives, etc

I think that with many different level´s students you will get crazy with different textbooks. You can get a textbook that you like and adapt the exercises to the students level...making them more difficult.

I have got 8 courses of 15 students, from 3 years to 13 years old..and I have to follow a textbook because the parents that paid them require me that...but you can choose!!! and..I have 15 students on each class...but is up to you..and do not worry!!! Think that teachers must do experiments..sometimes everything is ok..and sometimes not!!

good luck!!
