         <description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>PERSONALIZED ACTIVITIES</strong></p><p>I agree. Teenagers learn better when activities feel relevant to their interests and abilities. Personalized tasks boost engagement.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>LET THEM DECIDE EXTRA ACTIVITIES IN THE CLASS</strong></p><p>I agree, because in that way we can make the classroom more student-centered. Giving students a say in extra tasks increases their motivation and sense of ownership in learning.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>DON’T LET THEM VERY HARD WORK </strong></p><p>I agree. Giving the students too much can lead to stress or disengagement.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p><strong>respect sts privacity:</strong> I agree, Because, the teacher can realize when it is the right time to intervene in a conversation, but if in the group you feel you can break their privacy, just walk around, but don't lose your authority.</p></li><li><p><strong>include games:</strong> because you make the students feel a bit free and interactive the dynamics in class can be less stressful or tiring they learn the same way</p></li><li><p><strong>give students a voice:</strong> because the teacher can find topics that students really want to know about or have a real interest in, students can feel heard if the teacher brings topics that they have given their opinion to see in class.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ul><li><p><strong>Including teamwork games into lessons</strong>, I agree because this may help them to keep their attention by integrating activities that contribute to retain information and knowledge at the same time they are having fun.</p></li><li><p><strong>Have students talk about their own experience</strong>, this allows students to exchange ideas and promote interaction. I agree when see says that we should allow them to find who they want to work with but also we should pair them with random students from time to time</p></li><li><p><strong>Respecting students' privacy</strong>, I agree, we should always have a respectful and kind tone when talking to our students. It is important to be tolerant with them, this way we avoid offending them</p></li></ul>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>Teachers should allow them to decide on extra activities and find out about their preferences and interests. I think this is a useful tip because usually when teenagers feel their opinions  and interests are considered, they are more  engaged in the learning process.</p></li><li><p>Teachers should add interactive and game-based activities, including competitions and movement. I think this is a useful tip because games and movement can increase their engagement, make learning more enjoyable and motivating.</p></li><li><p>It's important not to interrupt them when they are talking to their peers about personal things. I think is important to respect their privacy.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Teaching teens: Main principles</strong></p><ol><li><p><strong>Have sts talk about their opinions:</strong> It's important to allow sts to express their opinion, to make them feel valued since most of their time, they feel ignored because of their age "The Stage of Stubbornness". Once they know that their opinions are heard, they'll be willing to learn and participate, and that's the most important thing in learning English (TO COMMUNICATE).</p></li><li><p><strong>Respect sts' privacy: </strong>Even though as teachers we should keep a record or to know our own sts, to be able to provide assistance. We should consider the significance of what is privacy for them, since that's their safe place, where they are finding they identity, a place where they can't be judged. </p></li><li><p><strong>Give sts a thing to say: </strong>As teachers we should refresh our material periodically, because by using realia, first they would be engaged in the topic and last but no least, they would know what to say in class.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>Find out about their preferences and interest, taking their opinion into account and allowing them to decide what activity they can do next time.</p></li><li><p>Include activities where they can move around and get answers, since at this age they are eager to contribute in class.</p></li><li><p>Activities should include topics where they speak from their experience, so as teachers we must make sure that the activities help them talk about how to complete them from their knowledge.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>Including games and fun activities in groups can make the learning process more enjoyable and interesting, which will increase student motivation and participation, since learners are more likely to engage with material when it's presented in a game format, and when they need to be in constant movement, leading to better retention.&nbsp;</p></li><li><p>Having students talk about their own experiences will help them develop social skills, they will communicate effectively through interaction with their peers/professor and gain confidence in speaking, it will also help them express their emotions to process difficult feelings and this in turn will enhance the positive learning environment.</p></li><li><p>Respect students opinions is crucial for  well-being, fostering a positive learning environment, and promoting their engagement in both school and life. It helps teens feel valued, builds trust with adults.<br></p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>As teenagers grow older, they value their independence and peer relationships. Respect their need for autonomy by allowing them to choose group partners occasionally and decide on class activities. Avoid interrupting their conversations unless necessary, as they value their personal discussions and group dynamics.</p></li><li><p>Late teenagers may appear less motivated due to busy schedules and fatigue. Balance your expectations by providing challenging tasks that respect their intelligence and maturity, while also incorporating fun and engaging moments into lessons. This helps maintain their interest and participation.</p></li><li><p>Teenagers up to 14 enjoy games and activities that involve movement and technology. Include guessing games, competitions, and activities that require them to use their devices. This engages them actively in the learning process and caters to their preference for interactive experiences.</p></li></ol>]]></description>
