 Re: Help needed with teenagers
Do they actually want to be there or are they being forced to come? Are they "good" kids who just don't have any english or are they just really uninterested? For my teenagers who speak too much of their native tongue in class I had to start a "no (native language) time" rule. I used this primarily in the 'study' portion of the class and gave them some more freedom when it came time to learning games or free conversation. Basically I kept a score sheet and they lost or gained points if they spoke their native language. (and if their friend tells on them the friend who tells gets a bonus) It worked really well and I used the points to either give them more homework, give them a head start in a game etc whatever you want.
Just an idea |
