[quote=GUEST28198,363929]Dear forum

Currently I am teaching English at a government school in the Yunnan province and have fallen in love with the fact that I can to some extent help others learn and vice a versa (wonderful Chinese people have taught me more that I ever dreamed of)

The only issue I have been dealing with is the sheer number of (teenage) students in one class 70 at the most and their level of English is very basic so I usually have to think on my feet as no teaching materials are provided by the school (they feel that oral English taught by a native speaker doesn't need their school's teaching materials although I beg to differ) but that's a whole different subject (no pun)

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on what topics teenagers would be interested talking/debating or discussing as I am literally running out of ideas since this is my 8th month now and I am starting to struggle in devising a new lesson plan for classes.  (By the way I have discussed this with the school but to no avail and I have to agree to their rules)

Lastly does anyone know of any good schools in the south of China where native English teachers are needed?  For a change of pace perhaps a younger group or kindergarten level would be a experience I'd like to embrace ( I like a challenge)

I would like to stay in China for a while longer as it has so much to offer and I am constantly learning so much and respect the culture deeply.

Thank you for reading and any information would make my day :)
