I have 2 high school age students I teach every week that are often difficult to teach. ... it looks like they are bored. ... they don't want to participate. ... they don't talk. Any ideas on how to spice up the class to make it fun and educational?
I imagine you need to go at this from a new angle. It might be good to talk with them and find out why they are there, what it is they'd like to do, are they like this all the time or just in English class. Maybe the content is too difficult for them, maybe it's too easy. If you have the chance try to talk to some other teachers that teach them.

They might be more interested in worksheets and grammar lessons to build their confidence. It's really hard to say. So, my advice would be try to get a clearer picture of the problem.
