Teaching Adolescents English
Help make a positive change to the new
generation of English learners around the
globe…
Course Overview:
Teaching a
classroom of teenagers requires using a combination of creativity,
flexibility
and explicit structure. The dynamics within these classes are quite unique.
Teachers
will be faced with a group of students who may be shy or outgoing, motivated
or lacking
enthusiasm. These students are beginning to face responsibility while
sometimes still
being treated like children. It is important at this stage for the teacher
to create a
comfortable atmosphere where students will enjoy the language and make use
of their
creative abilities in self expression. Adolescence is a tender age and the
teacher will
have a powerful impact on how these students view learning English.
Adolescents are becoming an increasingly
large part of the teaching field in both
overseas classrooms and locally. Students overseas may be preparing for post
secondary education, to travel to an English speaking country, or for
employment skills.
This course will encompass all of these needs as well as how to understand
the
adolescent student and create a classroom that will meet their needs and
capture their
interest.
