Default Re: ESL conversation upper intermediate-lower advanced conversation course

You have some good ideas. I hope you prepare all your lessons on a computer, so they are easy to save and to find in the future.
How many hours do you want to spend on each unit?
Do you need to teach writing, or do the students have writing skills? Teaching writing can take a lot of time. You may find out that students don't know certain grammar structures, and then you will have to devote time to teaching grammar. That is no small matter.
In California, health and emotions are often taught in a beginning class. Are you sure that the students didn't learn these already? I am not sure what kinds of speaking activities you might use for health and emotions. These are personal matters and some people may not want to discuss them.
