First of all I'd like to say hello to everyone because this is my first time in this forum.

I need your help because I've got a problem with my teenager students and it's that they don't know how to play.

I mean, for the last 5 years I've worked for a language school that considered very important learning through teamwork, communication, games, etc. All those things that normally make the lesson funnier for everyone.
The problem is that nowadays I'm working in a new school ( you know, motherhood things) and in this school each teacher does what they consider to be the best, and apparently most of the teachers don't use this system, because my students don't know how to enjoy games, they don't know how to work in teams, how to discuss answers...

I think that some of them consider that they are wasting their time because we don't use the notebook. But, fortunately, in the same way I'm sure that some of them really appreciate waht I do.

My question is how can I encourage these people to enjoy games, to learn how to play, to learn to learn English through fun?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

LAura
