    Any advice on TEFL teaching appreciated

    Going to TEFL school in January. Have been sent modules and paperwork to read and answer before November 21st. I'll have it all read and questions answered in time before sending it back by deadline,but being out of school 45 years and no teaching experience, it's like starting over,re-learning things I use on an everyday basis,but you take for granted. I've been told a little what to expect by the owner,and conversation English is mostly what they want you to teach, and not knowing much Thai seems to be ok,as they want you to talk in only English to the students,which is okay by me. My questions are,are there any tips I might take,and or videos of an actual Thai classroom with an English speaker,so I can get a better idea on how things are handled? I did well in English class,but I'll be on the other side,and even though I'm looking forward to helping others learn our language,so they can have a better chance of jobs in their futures, it's scary not knowing what to expect. I know how my English classes were conducted, and we already knew how to speak the language,so understanding what was said was easy and second nature. But teaching to children with only a little instruction beforehand? Anything that can help will be appreciated. Teaching English seems to be one way of keeping busy and making a living here before retirement,so it's on my agenda.
