Chapter 8: Teaching Teenagers Who Are Still Learning English

In the start of this chapter students expressed that teachers should first get to know them personally, along with their academic history. The students also felt that teachers should also understand their culture.

This is a great tip for teachers. The more you learn about your students the more you will be able to help them understand. It is also a giant plus to know what the students already understand, that way you don’t end up going over the same material they have already learned. You can also connect new knowledge to what they already know. This will make the teachers more effective and hopefully ease some of the stress.
