Do you have any teenager students? They could be quite a handful sometimes. If you want to be an effective teacher for adolescent learners, first you have to understand their characteristic.
From my GLOBAL TESOL COLLEGE Adolescent English Specialization Training, I learned that “Adolescents do not approach learning with as much wonder and interest as children, yet they are not like adults because they also do not approach learning with as much focus.”
Adolescents and children share the following characteristics:
1. The need to be physically active in the classroom.
2. Require reminders to stay focused in given task.
3. Sense and language through exposure.
4. Need to have firm and fair discipline and structure to follow.
5. Humor and games are important within classroom settings.
