hello everyone

I have completed my TESOL course, and I have accepted a job in China starting in March next year.

I have been told I will be teaching up to 30, though i have a feeling it will be a bit more. I am teaching primary and middle school, ages 7-14.

Has anyone got any ideas for learning and remembering my students names as quickly as possible? Also, I am not sure if schools in China compare, but is the seating mostly rows? - if this is the case, what would be the best way to prepare groups?

I am thinking of these situations in advance as I would prefer to have minimum disruption is my classes, which hopefully will give me one less thing to worry about. Also, I don't want to point to my students as I think its rude and would much rather say their names.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

thanks
