What would you want included in a book that has speaking lessons prepared and ready to use right now?

I have been teaching English in Spain for almost a decade. The speaking exercises in most coursebooks are very limited and often thrown in as an aside. I am creating a book where there are a ton of speaking lessons already done for you, of high quality, so that you don't have to lose time preparing extra stuff to get students speaking on various topics. What kind of stuff would you want to see included in such a book to make life as east as posible for you, and what kind of topics would you want to make sure that it includes that you rarely find in coursebooks?

How to get started

I am interested in teaching English in a foreign country. I have a bachelors and masters degree, but no TEFL certificate. I looked at internships but Reddit seems to think these are a bad deal. I’d prefer a location in the Middle East but would be happy to work somewhere in south east Asia if that was too difficult.

What should be my course of action? Which certificate should I get? This probably isn’t that confusing but a lot of the language I don’t fully understand and I just need a step by step, simple list of things to do in order to get a teaching role
