You need to give them a sentence frame they need to practice with each other. For example, lets say you want to practice, "Hello, how are you doing?" and give an answer or several ways to answer. Have them actually verbalize it and make sure you tell them you will be looking for correct pronunciation.
There are several ways to practice. You can have them move around the room until you tell them to stop. Then they find a partner (person closest to them) and they practice back and forth.
You can make two rows and have them face each other. They practice the sentence frame. One person from one of the rows will go to the end of the line and the line shifts. The other row doesn't move. This will make each person have a different partner.

Level 0? That's a tough one.
Anyway, try this; get as many greetings from any languages and explain the function of greetings slowly. Since these people are of level 0 (which i presumed they have less English Vocabulary and possible zero), you have to do lotsa miming and body movement. Also try to get a picture of sunset or dawn to teach them simple "good morning" and "good evening".
In my opinion, when it comes to Adult Learners, they need to be exposed with the concept first.
GOOD LUCK

get a book on etiquette and it should cover different greetings...............at least SOME people will learn to speak with respect and dignity.............. not like others eg. "wassup?"
