Although I am an experienced EFL professional, I have never before taught a child (just under 8) one on one. I have found many excellent materials online but simply do not have time to trawl the net for three hours (as I did this week) seeking materials for only one client. Can anyone recommend a good book for speaking? I can obviously supplement such but would like a book as basis, especially since it will also save me from having to develop a syllabus.
The child has already done a year of English in school and knows the alphabet and some basic sentences, colours, nouns and verbs but really isn't accustomed to speaking much. I should mention, I am in China and the largest bookshops in my town have nothing for her age range except general (Chinese) English books. The parents are willing to buy a good English publication if we can get it delivered.
I'd be grateful for any ideas.
Thanks.
