Teaching Teens

One of the biggest challenges with teaching teenagers can be getting them to talk. If you teach this age gorup, please help the rest of us out and start a list of what your learners are interested in. What music are they listening to? Who are their idols? What are the most popular sports? What topics get them motivated to speak in class, etc. This would be great information to have for anyone preparing extra material to use in class.

Here's a great article by Gary Anderson which offers advice on teaching teenagers.
