hello! everyone... i've got myself in a conundrum of some sorts and I'd be glad if you guys can help me solve it.
I've been teaching academic english (as a private tutor in new delhi, india) for about 2 years now as i've good understanding of literature and grammar and I'm good with communications and it's also because i love teaching and languages (i'm intermediate french and basic spanish with some sanskrit and bengali), i want to develop a course for spoken english for my students which should have a duration of no more than 4 months, it should have functional grammer+idioms/phrases/ some presentation skills with some confidence building exercises (because here in india the people know what they want to say but are always afraid that they might come out incorrect so i think some cbe would be helpful)and oral material and of course lots of speaking in real life situations and exposure to english via songs, movies, tv etc which i'll arrange myself; the problem is i'm having a hard time comprehending how i should go about it? like how to start and then in what kind of chronological order of exercises should i start and end things with? generally the students have an intermediate level-1 understanding of english, so my course will be focused on these students to enhance their skills.
can someone please help me develop something like this!
(in b/w i'm new to social networking and forums so if i made a mistake somewhere i apologise for that, i also want to develop a course for buiseness communications later, so if anybody wants to work together on these things i would really appreciate it, i've a lot of useful material (around 20 gigs on my pc) , also i would love to talk to other english teachers from around the world and exchange methods and develop new techniques)
any help is much appreciated
