You will need to have a different attitude to this class as they are not children you need to discipline. Have the classroom environment feel more like a meet up of friends, a place to learn from each other and help each other out. Try not repeat words of praise like you would with younger students as this may sound condescending. Your attitude towards these students must be transparent, open and honest.
When getting to know them, find similarities between yourself and them. Talk about music, sport or current affairs around the area which the students may know about or be able to relate to. This gives a sense that you’re from the same world. With lessons on everyday English use places they know as examples. If your students like shopping, ask where they do most of their shopping, mention where you go and use these locations in your activities. Some good activities are word searches, job applications, mock telephone calls or ordering goods online.
Across any age group, we want to remember to practice patience and keep learning fun. This may seem obvious but can be forgotten once you have been teaching for a while. Always ask yourself how you would like to experience learning a language and how you would like the teacher to treat you. Keep it light-hearted and fun for all ages and turn your class into something they look forward to every time.
