Teaching Teenagers English #8 Something IMPORTANT for early in the year

On many language courses, numbered exercises form our daily classroom currency. This technique is a little check to put in place during the early part of the academic year. It will tell you a little bit about how each student is doing and if they are in fact benefiting from doing those exercises. In this series of no-frills videos for teachers, methodology writer Chris Roland talks about teaching teenagers, with techniques, anecdotes and discussion about the psychological and emotional world of being a teens teacher. Further reading Chris’ book Understanding Teenagers in the ELT Classroom (2018) is available from Pavilion Publishing & Media as part of their Teaching English series. There’s a link to that below. A companion volume for teaching groups of teens online is also available through Pavilion called Understanding Teenage Language Learners Online (2021). h
