Blog series on teaching conversation classes

I’ve been teaching conversation language classes for the last 5 years in two countries (Japan and Germany).

Below is a series of blog posts designed to help the new conversation class teacher not get overwhelmed, and to make the class successful.

I’ll be adding to this series over time, with actual lesson plans and a course schedule with example topics and grammar.

For a broader overview, the article “How to teach a conversation class” I wrote a few years ago year is a quick read.
