Methodology

I play a game or do a warm-up to let them know they can be human.
Usually, I then give them a broad word picture of what is coming, very broad. After introducing myself, I enlist student tasks to speak or react to. One task, often fun.

I invite their take on what happened, then teach them a main lesson, word, style or grammar. I teach grammar; these guys are mainly unfamiliar with common speech. Grammar is simple. It has rules. Speaking is also simple, so we need to teach manners, response, correct English.

I do not teach with long writing or with reading texts. That is taught as a module inside what I have already explained above.
To engage them with studies and assignments, we first need to work around a vocab. Usage of the vocab, as little as 10 words, is the way to go. Study springs from "getting" a well spoken language set. Practice a set first, don't read first. In Taiwan I stopped other teachers from writing and reading sequences to start my lesson. There is not a mechanical sequence but organic intake after practising a speech set. This is usage.

For me, the above is necessary. It is not helpful to go into other things without basics. In a first-English language group of people you might try concepts, as a pre-organiser (overview). A speaker doesn't want to spend time saying Verb, intransitive or similar. They need a good idea, story(!), someone's experience. Connect.

So for most people Speaker or Foreign language person, Engage; Motivate; and give concrete tasks; it can be language task or thinking task.
