Ch. 8: Teaching TeenagersWho re Still Learning English

On page 147, we find the importance of knowing our students. There is a reason why they are shy and timid.
I feel that the list that is giving is a great way to understand who our students are and what they have to offer. If we take the time to get to know our students, they will feel more comfortable and appreciate us more. I have never encountered this issue because everyone from Gorham has English as a first language, but I realize when I teach in Colorado, I will have to adapt to my surroundings. Singling people out usually causes them to be more shy, but showing that you care will get them to open up and be who they truly are.
