Default Re: students who don't want to be there

Hi,
I hope this response will get through.

I suggest you get to know the students. Get to know their language learning background -- How did their teachers in the past teach them? Do they just listen and answer exercises on paper and do not talk in class? Get to know their anxieties -- perhaps they got embarrassed when trying to talk or participate in classroom activities. Get to know the reason why they are in the class, their goals and interests. And finally, get their trust to teach them.
