Thanks for the feedback guys,it's truly appreciated!

Jinchafa.

I understand your point about rich and poor kids.

My previous middle school in a small town in West China was a lot poorer than the private one I'm in now.

Here the students live on campus and the town is rich and prosperous so you can imagine how well off their parents are!

So,like you in my previous school I generally found the children easier to teach even though I also often had about seventy to a class!

Whenever I've used dialogues in my classes,they've usually been quite staid affairs with me usually copying out of a textbook.Sometimes I've adapted the dialogues a little, but your idea of writing my own and having up to four students involved at once sounds interesting.
I wish you all the best back at your previous middle school!

Thanks!

Your imaginative dialogues appeal to me as well.
When you get them to create their own dialogues do you get them to write them down first?

With the dialogues with blanks do you mean for example you might have two people talking but the second persons speech is blanked out,and the students have to improvise?

Sorry if I'm a pain in the butt,but a few more details would be truely appreciated!

I hope it works out well for you in Korea!

Thanks!

Elephant you are a TRUE Elephant because you have GIANT vision and ideas!I intend to do some research into language labs.Maybe I may find a school in the future that could provide such a facility!

I'm going to have a crack at the above suggestions! I think any failure would be only due to my own incompetence!

Cheers,guys!If I could buy you all a beer I would!
