I'd not worry about the textbooks or anything regarding the classroom. Right now it's much more important for you to avoid the liars, thieves, and cheats who call themeselves directors/principals. Make damn sure you understand your contract fully first and foremost.You can worry about textbooks later.
Hello Nick
I think that you might do well to check out both the ESL Lessons and the Teaching Strategies sections of this site. They have some wonderful, practical and do-able ideas.
Good luck

greetings!
i have accepted a teaching position with jiaxing uni.
i would like to hear from the experienced readers their thoughts on what it will be like there for me. i am contracted to teach oral eng. & listening skills.
will there be a set curriculum, textbooks, materials, worksheets, etc. ?
i am looking at a few textbooks on amazon and would like to use them, is that a good idea?
I have ZERO teaching experience. I pointed this out over & over to the uni, and they still say 'no problem'! what gives?
gracias
