I need help with English lesson!
Hiya! Long time no post here! I just hope you guys can help me out.
Okay, here is a bit background. My colleagues' English skill is very poor. They don't want to read English text and can't communicate in English with our customers. So, I was assigned from my manager to give English lessons that can be applied to work which is not an easy task as my manager gives me only 30 minutes per lesson, and two lessons per week. Also, she doesn't want me to start teaching these people from zero, as they're all grown-up and she expects them to have some knowledge in basic English ( which I'm not 100% sure they have ).
I don't really know how to set up a course, or which subject should I be teaching them first or later on. Should I teach them a lot of Grammar or should I just focus on English Comprehension. Since now using English becomes quite natural to me, I really have no idea how to teach people who have difficulties in using it. If I teach a lot of Grammar and/or Vocabulary, they will get bored very easily.
Anyone have ideas? It would be great if you can give me guideline or brief course syllabus of some sort. :)
