If you don't have a good grasp of English, how in the world did you end up teaching English in the first place? This is one of the reasons this country's English is so poor. I suggest you teach something else and let someone else do the job better instead of struggling with it.

you say that you have been teaching already and moving to Guilin.

no offence, but how can you be asking about a basic way to teach adults ???

If you are trained as an English teacher with at least a basic TEFL, and already have some experience, you should know. crying

Since you do not know English maybe you could have them teach you English.

Our school teaches Adults as well as children.  We use this curriculum: EnglishMadeEasier.com  

 

It's very easy to teach from and helps create conversation very quickly.

You're selling it, not using it!

 

'englishmadeeasier.com' is dead web link. There's plenty links for purchasing book from 1973, that's 30Y ago. 2nd World War ended 69Y ago.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
