The teenagers are going through a lot of physical and
emotional changes, including changes in their brains for
that reason let me share some tips for help them.
The key to good teaching to teenagers,
is to find out what gets the students'
attention and use it to help them learn
The first day: the teacher should make that sure they are conscious of the
amount of work they will be doing both in and out of class if they want to
reach their objectives and It is really important that they feel motivated.
Being strict: Research has shown that firm but fair teachers are preferred by this
age group, However, this doesn’t mean that teachers have to be strict all the
time! Students should be rewarded when they work hard and rewards, such as
games and other fun activities, can be a great incentive to get the task done.
Short-Term goals: Set regular, achievable goals in order to keep
motivation as high as possible, and discuss and negotiate these
goals with your students keeping them involved.
Motivation: Instead of just asking your students to read, tell them the story from the writer’s
point of view from the beginning, but stopping before the end. Now ask what happened
next, encouraging all kinds of funny answers and, then, get them reading! The gist of it is to
find fun ways to exploit the materials they already have in their course books.
Humour: A good laugh now and again can motivate teenagers to want to come to class. Make up
stories or ask them to help you solve a problem or to introduce a grammar point that they actually, The
students would come up with all sorts of solutions, have fun and, actually, practice their English. know.
Teenagers want to know about now, and not about what happened a hundred years ago! Keeping up-
to-date with technology and the topics that may interest teenagers it is of utmost importance to
getting and holding their attention.
teachers must be creative and organize activities like sharing journal entries
or writing articles for a magazine students have created themselves.
Appropriate and adapted activities to teenagers
Music: teenagers love and relate to music, as it is a way
for them to express themselves and learn at the same
time
Group Work: teenagers are social animals and
even thougt they may be quite self conscious,
they crave relationship and peer interaction.
Role-playing and acting: this is a great way for
teenagers to express themselves freely and to turn
uninhibited. Role -playing allows them to vent their
feelings in a safe way as it can be perceived as just a
role, that a student is playing and not their true selves
Class konowledge: Teenagers know a lot about
various topics and a teacher should elicit and use
their interests and passions for class content.
Games: teenaagers are competitive in the
way that they like to show -off and win in
groups.
