first day in the middle of the course
 

Hi! I am a new ESL teacher and I will be taking over a class in the middle of the course. I wanted some ideas of good activities to do on the first day. All the students already know each other, so I am afraid that the normal ice breakers might be a bit boring. Also since it is the middle of the course, I don´t really want to go through the regular first day stuff but I still need a way to get to know my students and their individual levels. Any ideas? They are a beginner adult class of about 2-7 people depending on the day. Also the class is three hours long :confused:!!!
