Your best bet would be to interview them personally and try to find some common topics they like first - this actually saves alot of time and makes your lessons more relevant to the students.

More interesting subjects would be:

- Culture (a comparison of) - this could be done over many lessons and cover many topics from the family dynamic, food, habits and so on.

- (Linked with culture) - you could go into art and the Persian rug - compared to western art.

- Modern technology - internet etc

- Modern science - genetic engineering, GM foods etc.

- Cinema - always good.

- Literature - a comparison of.

Preparing topics is very easy - find out what they like - internet search, adapt it for your class.

If you don't want to do it this way - then perhaps you should look at using a good all round text book such as 'New Headway' - Oxford publishing.

Good luck!

i imagine i'm able that can help you you with this one. very last year, I taught at a private Asian college the position the children were all the following on pupil visas. The English changed into definately no longer all there. each day, I had a "question of the day." I had somewhat foam ball and may throw it to someone and then they could answer the question and throw it to some different person etc till each man or woman had responded. countless the well-known questions were: what's your puppy peeve? (of route I had to describe what a puppy peeve is,) what's your well-known foodstuff, who's your hero, what's the acceptable style of motorized vehicle? what's your well-known activity? Which season do you lilke acceptable and why? in case you ought to bypass again in time, the position may you bypass and why? in case you go with extra concepts for matters, be at liberty to e mail me, yet i imagine you ought to easily seem at some the questions with reference to the following - epecially interior the survey catergory, and use them as matters.

I'd shoot for the less volatile and fun stuff like family (kids), love, and travel. Your students are likely to have a voice on religion and politics, but that, my friend, is dangerous ground. You want your ESL students to leave your class happy.

Whenever i teach ESL, i try to teach them the language they will need .I teach lessons titled,at the library,at the post office,at the beach etc. this is great for picking up vocabulary and they learn language they can use.
