I: How do you keep students engaged and motivated?

T: First of all, I try to understand my students. Who they are, what they want to achieve in life, what interests them. Communication and asking questions, as well as collecting feedback in the classes, is absolutely pivotal. Once I understand them better, I can adjust my classroom management and teaching methods to make sure that they are engaged in the lessons, and pay attention. Of course, this isn’t easy, and it is almost impossible to make every single student motivated and engaged in what’s going in the classroom. But we should try our best to succeed at least with the majority of them.
