Default Re: Help needed with teenagers

Mary1 this sounds like one of my classes! I also teach some teenagers in Spain. I have two groups of about 13/14 yr olds that are doing a coursebook for PET(so the courseboo doesnīt really appeal to them much!). One group is much better than the other. Iīve tried doing extra activities for communication but most of the time they donīt listen, talk, do the activity in Spanish etc. Iīm at my wits end and usually end up stopping the activity and going back to the book. Iīm thinking of trying a no Spanish policy as suggested and see if that works. I feel like I canīt do anything fun as they just donīt seem interested in anything!Would love any further suggestions of how to turn this class around!
