students & teachers

As of 10:00 tonight Nate and I are officially paid teachers! Our school asked us to run an English class for our Arabic teachers. And since it's Ramadan now--meaning the day goes from noon to 4am --our class will be held at 10 pm, 3-4 nights per week. We have a basic lesson plan for tonight (class introductions and goals), but are not sure what direction to take following the basic introductions. One of our students/SIAL teacher asked me today what text book we'll be using. Text book? Huh? Hadn't thought that far ahead. So, if anyone has recommendations of a great beginning English text book (heavy on grammar and vocab), please email us! I'm excited about this great opportunity (and money, you can't beat $2.50/hour!) but I also feel a bit nervous and under-prepared. I love school and being a student, but am I really teacher material (especially with my propensity to blush whilst public speaking, haha)? We'll see...
