I imagine its frustrating and unrewarding for you as a teacher if all you are expected to do is entertain some kids. You're not a clown.

I would suggest getting a good book and following their curriculum. I might be able to suggest some books (or a series of books) if you give a little more information about your students.

How old are they?
What is their level?
How often and for how long do you see them in a week.

1. Is entertaining
I think most, but not all, books can be entertaining. You just need to find something you are interested in teaching as well.

Quote:
2. Can be used on 3 levels
Do you mean 1 book for three different levels? Or do you mean 1 book for 3 different classes at the same level?

Quote:
3. Requires no homework
4. ****Focuses on pronunciation and accents****
I think these 2 go hand in hand. If you are primarily focusing on pronunciation and accents, assigning homework will be difficult unless you know their parents speak quite fluently. Cassette tapes are a possibility.

Anyway, if you can give some more info about your class I, or someone else, might be able to point you in a more specific direction.
