This excellent site can help you design interesting lessons according to your Ss � level. This one offers a lot of videos which learners can use to build their vocab and improve their pronunciation. Greetings from Greece,

Hi Alvarite
If your students want functionally based lessons I recommend you follow the appropriate level in this syllabus.
If they want topic based lessons then perhaps use a site such as this.
Cheers

They may just want to speak, but they must accept some input - a bit of reading to talk about, or a film to discuss. For my speaking classes, we generally read a story and then I make a ppt or provide some pictures with the main events and we use that for a re-tell, using the wh- question words.
You can also do role play activities - give out cue cards for conversation - at the cafe or whatever. You are the bartender, your student is the customer.
For starter speaking activities, I �ve been using images from this great site (I think it was posted by papadeli) http://digital.library.pitt.edu/v/visuals/ Go down to Browse the collection. Lots of them promote conversation - what �s she doing there? Why is she running? What will she do later etc.

Hi, this site isn �t free, (about $22 US for one year), but you will find the worksheets on the site perfect for teaching adults. I teach many adult groups, and I use the site a lot.
