Your learners may not need world geography. However, a map to show where they lived and where they are living now would be helpful You could also use world news each day and pinpoint Iraq and North Korea and Madrid to begin the learning, if that is one of your goals. NO curriculum ever suits the needs of every learner. I build my own curriculum, sometimes using items from books. I have taught for 15 years and the curriculum is never the same for each class.
