You are half-way through another academic year with several groups of teenagers, some of whom are supposed to be taking a B1 or B2 exam sometime in June, but you really can´t see it happening, at least not with everyone and definitely not with their current attitude(s)! Or maybe it´s you, the teacher, who really doesn´t seem to be able to «get into» teaching teens, despite your most heroic efforts. If any of this sounds familiar, then this session aims to provide a tonic to teenage and teenage-teacher indifference. While this session offers no fairy dust to wish your troubles away or guarantees on your students passing B1 or B2, it does offer sound advice and practical activities, with little planning, on how to get much more out of teaching 12 – 18 year olds.
