Default Re: need serious curriculum help!

Do you need a curriculum if the students don't get credit for the class?
Help the intermediates with their class subjects. Build glossaries. Take basic vocabulary from class subjects and get them to use it in context. Make up fill in the blanks and have them unscramble sentences related to relavent topics. It gets easier as you get used to preparing such tasks.
'Side by Side' is a nice beginners text for high school. Rosetta Stone is a great online (or CD) program for beginners. Definitely worth while.
Good luck.
