Default English through communicative activities

Hi everyone,
I'm Yessica from Chile and I will start teaching English for the fisrt time in a few weeks. My students will be teenagers from 12 to 17 years old and there will be from 40 to 45 students per class. Their English level is really poor. They were taught English in Spanish with the grammar translation method.
My teaching philosophy focuses on communication. I believe that English must be taught in English through communicative activities in order to be acquired by the students.
However, I'm a little scared because I have lots of ideas but I dont' know whether they will fix students' interests.
I would like to receive some pieces of advices to start this challenging task.
