Hi and thanks!

I never planned to be an EFL Teacher, but people were always begging me to teach them so I finally gave in and decided to "just do it". I have no prior English teaching experience, so sometimes this is a real challenge (I like it though).

With my group of students, I do a quick review of the lesson from the previous day; with my other students, I do a review of the lesson from the previous week. My group of students I know, would not sit down together and watch T.V. -- they hardly ever study or do the homework that I give them. Not because they don't want to do it, rather they just don't have time; they are businessmen (BUT, they ARE making good progress).

In just a couple weeks, they've learned about Frequency Adverbs, Present/Past/Future verbs, Prepositions (still need some work on this theme) and Auxiliary verbs (All the above because they are very inquisitive! -- That is where my challenge comes in... being able to answer their questions in the moment they ask them).

We just broke in to a new area yesterday -- describing people. They really enjoyed that class.

My problem is that I don't feel that I am well structured or, I do not really have a method to go by. I just teach what I feel will be most useful to them at the time and then move on when I sense they have a good understanding. I recently bought some EFL books from Macmillan -- Sky High. I haven't received them yet, but I'm hoping they will help to build a good foundation for myself as a Teacher, but for my students as well.

Do you have any good ideas on teaching "Telling Time" (for a 1hr class)?
