Is the class a PASS/FAIL? Many of my students who are ESOL students also, are petrified of speaking in front of the class. I hacve them write a business letter (they pick the type of letter) and then discuss it in front of the class. They answer the questions pertinent to letter writing for business. It counts as in class + homework credit.
You seem to be enjoying the teaching more than the driving.
