La idea es quedar con alguien y hablar la primera mitad de la reunión en un idioma y la segunda mitad en la otra.

Are they "only" doing survival Spanish?) - so what are they?? Or do you have to decide that along with the students?
The cafeteria sounds like a good idea and as someone suggested, an intercambio could work at some point. As you have a mixed ability class maybe you can get them to work out a list of questions together so that the beginners will be able to say something when they meet their counterparts. Perhaps the more able students can correct/ translate.
Another idea for class work is to maybe get the more able students to take part of the class - even if it's just 10 mins.

Gracias H4G. Tonight is my first night. Will report back. Thanks for the ideas. Was told by the former Spanish teacher that there is one policeman in the class and somebody who works in the medical field. Will find out tonight about the rest. No veo la hora de empezar!
