Description

Teaching teenagers offers a range of challenges, but also comes with exciting and rewarding opportunities for both teachers and students. Taking Your Language Teaching of Teenagers to the Next Level explores what it is like to be a teacher of teenagers, delving into the teenage brain to help you get the most out of teenage learners and improve learning outcomes.

It provides creative and advanced teaching techniques, alongside meaningful discussion, accompanying images and practical applications, to help teachers take their teaching practice to the next level. It offers detailed and honest analysis that explores the challenges and opportunities teaching teenagers offers. Questions and challenges are posed throughout to encourage teachers to reflect on their teaching practice and review the evidence.

After having worked through the book and the suggested tasks in it, teachers will be better able to:

  • gauge and manage their own reactions to groups of teenage learners;
  • focus on the language their learners are producing and help them develop it;
  • negotiate desirable codes of behaviour with their students;
  • teach effectively in the face of resistance;
  • allow their teenage students the right sort of freedoms and autonomy;
  • implement a wide range of ‘next-level’ techniques and activities;
  • help prepare their learners for exams;
  • teach their learners how to write successfully across a number of genres.

Taking Your Language Teaching of Teenagers to the Next Level is part of the Teaching English series. Chris Roland is also the author of Understanding Teenagers in the ELT Classroom and Structuring Fun for Young Learners in the ELT Classroom,as well as the accompanying online titles.
