- Join us this Friday at 4pm GMT / 11am EST for our latest webinar on teaching 13 to 17 year olds. Stereotypically disruptive and uneager to learn, lessons with teens can be seen as challenging to both novice and experienced teachers, but it doesn't have to be that way.
During the webinar, we'll cover the characteristics of teenage learners, classroom management and use of games, activities and technology in your lessons, as well as of course answering all of your questions!

Just adding because you mentioned it - I teach English to teens in schools in France, and my classes are not by level (in English). They are divided by their grade or year of study, so I have big classes with a mix of total beginners to B1-B2 levels! It is incredibly challenging!! I level test them all, and have online homework assignments that I give according to level - not the class. This still remains challenging in the classroom, where I have to create lesson plans which I can adapt to give everyone a part to play in it and participate.
Thank you👍
I'm a bit late to the party, but this is super helpful. Thanks!
Yes, having 7 years experience teaching Chinese students in class and online, you have to tread carefully. Buy you can encourage them. The main problem is their study schedules are horrific. Imagine 7am to 8pm in some boarding schools. I'm not kidding you.
Megan from Kamloops, Hi!
Hi from Birmingham, AL (USA)
Hi Carl..im currently in Bodrum Turkey
Great pieces of advice! Thank you! I lam listening this before my ESL interview. Great things to consider while working with teenagers
Best of luck with your interview! Let us know how you get on 🤞
Hi dear, I'm from São Paulo, Brazil.
If the students are on a sumer camp abroad, ask them to write one page, maybe a letter home to mother.
What a great idea 💡Writing a letter home, an email or even a postcard can help students practice using the past simple. Even after the summer, they could continue practicing their English with others they met at the school/camp. Are penpals still a thing? - Alan
Best advice I can offer is don't lecture, encourage speaking, get to the point quicker, speak less, give more examples. It's not rocket science.
Do you teach students in private class individually?
Both options are available. You can work in a language school or academy that groups students by age as well as level. Some parents also want private English language tuition for their children - either to help with homework or prepare them for university/going overseas. Student motivation for these classes can vary depending on whether it's a goal of theirs, or their parents so plan accordingly to find some common ground on topics - Alan
@@TEFLorg great 👍.. but can I know the fees or if I want more details how can I contact you?
So when conducting private tuition, you would set the fee or negotiate this with the student/parents. If you are working for a language school, they would disclose the salary or hourly rate for their teachers in any job ads - Alan
Hello sir
