I will soon be embarking on my first ever business English class with my first ever group of adult students. HELP!

Specifically, I'd like opinions on:

Learning names (they're Chinese ) - do you think name cards/labels are too infantile?

establishing ground rules - do I need to do this? - I'm very experienced with kids and making class rules is almost the first thing I do with them but is this appropriate for adults?

Any other good tips for making a good first impression - getting off to a good start?

Please bear in mind they have already been assessed for ability and a suitable (i hope) course has been designed for them by the language centre I work for, so I am not looking for teaching ideas, more 'adult-handling' ideas!

Thanks
