So, teaching teenagers isn’t easy.

In this way, teacher need to try to be flexible and patient with each student, the activities must be dynamic, and with interesting pedagogical content.

Stories can help them to share and work in groups, also teenagers are discovering a different relationship with others and group work allows individual to interact with different classmates through a collaborative atmosphere, it could be interesting for them, they could enjoy and learn in class at the same time.

Moreover, this can encourage them to improve their abilities, and offers a chance to use their individual talent to do something personally meaningful and motivating with the language they are learning.

Games can provide not only purposeful contexts in which to use language but they also stimulate interaction, are fun, it can allow them to try to express different feelings and emotions. 

Going to the Shop

A great one for younger learners as it will teach them the basics of interacting with people. Children generally rely on their parents to buy things for them, therefore this will boost their overall general confidence in buying. It can be as simple or as complex as one wishes, depending on the situation. Key phrases are often important here, such as “I would like…” “How much are…” “Good morning…” and so forth.

Teaching adults is very interesting because adult students are for the most part highly motivated, since they have come to English class for a specific reason; they attend class for free choice. They have a rich life experiences, they bring different skills, interest, backgrounds, and life experiences of the learning situation, sometimes they could be afraid but they always be disposed to practice, because they need to apply what they are learning, so their tasks must be practical, and directly relate to their everyday lives, since they have a clear purpose.

Adults want to engage in global topics. Adult students have a higher degree of maturity, so your materials should reflect that in your lesson plans. They want to transform their opinions and ideas into grounded, structured English words, sentences and full-blown conversations.

  • Audios, podcasts and videos.
  • Daily News Crossword Puzzles.

In fact, it’s a time-honored teacher tradition to employ a crossword or two during any course. However, most ESL crosswords are easy, less academic in word choice, and either too dubious or too focused.

Daily news crosswords, on the other hand, are a sure way to introduce your students to new vocabulary, engage them in cultural topics, and promote collaboration and conversation by turning them into pair work activities.
