Pretend you want to learn more about Korean food and have students (individually or in groups) prepare a brief (like one or two minutes) English presentation on a particular Korean food, or dish, or style of cooking. If you want, give them a list of specific vocabularly words to incorporate. Make sure they write it out and show it to you before-hand, then you can correct the vocabulary and grammar. During the presentation, critique pronunciation, etc. If they like "food" as a topic, go with that and have them work out the specifics. After they do this they may feel more comfortable with you and you can slowly add different topics to introduce new vocabularly. I don't know what "level" these people are at, but looks like sticking with "home and family" stuff for awhile might help. Have the students teach YOU something.
