I use some stuffs as English audios with transcripts and explain everything, I also use some worksheets and some exercises.
be very patient, do a lot of listening and focus on the topics that interest them a lot.
It's more fun to use textbooks with different topics, asking student's opinion and telling jokes, at the same time watching videos of popular bands / singers and discuss the lyrics of songs :)
I would use , the self discovery method, they find out for themselves
a. Vocabulary Worksheets-These can be; 1.school vocabulary which will enable students to discuss their school subjects in English with common expressions used native speakers. The lesson includes an illustrated reference sheet and worksheet exercises, in which students identify the noun form of verbs and collocate words. 2.Geography vocabulary which illustrates useful geography vocabularies like natural disasters and natural resources. 3.Classical architecture vocabulary which teaches fundamental architectural terms, from 'cornice' to 'pedestal' and details the origin and distinguishing features of the five Classical orders. b. Animations- These can be Energy animations whereby when you bring science and geography to life, it teaches students aged 7 to 14 about the energy that powers everything from their computer to the bus that transports them to school. c. Wordlists-For example environment, weather and climate and economics.
I often design lesson plans based on their needs and level. Speaking and small exams/quizzes can be effective also.
While taking lessons with teenagers I like to focus on topics that interest them the most.
Patient, listening, repeating questions
