British Council Teaching Teens

If you think about school, is there that one teacher who stands out above all others? That one person who is your favourite and who really inspired you? Why? I’ve been mulling this question over recently, because I’ve decided that I want to become a teacher. Teaching is so rewarding and it provides so many opportunities. You get to inspire future generations – what could be better?
I’m currently helping out in two schools – a primary and a secondary school – and I’m actually really enjoying it. Some days are challenging and I ask myself why I am doing it, but then one of my students will answer a question or be interested in my lesson and suddenly everything becomes worthwhile because you know you are helping someone to learn.
Teaching is so exciting! I get to plan my own lessons and make them as fun or as serious as I like and with the internet and your own imagination, you are never short of resources. You can create one lesson plan and then tailor it to suit each of the ages that you teach. Lessons are never boring because you always have a backup plan – sometimes my classes don’t go according to plan, so I switch the way I teach and do something that I know my students will enjoy. One of my favourite games is charades – it works with almost anything and any age and you can get your students to teach each other!
I also love the fact that I teach English in everything, besides the subject ‘English’. I teach biology, geography, history, technology, social sciences and music ... all in English! It’s such fun, as I always have to plan that particular subject and so every day is different. I get to study English literature, which is my passion, and pass on my knowledge and enthusiasm to my students, and I get to teach a huge variety of classes and age groups.
I’ve found that each student learns differently, so you have to try and cater for everybody by including a variety of tasks and exercises as well as interesting multimedia, like videos and games. The best classes are when I give the students a topic to discuss – usually one which they feel very passionate about – and let them have their say. This was particularly fun in the run up to the American elections or on International Women’s Day!
I’m excited to get started on my teacher training and to start planning more lessons!
Have you ever thought about being a teacher? Do you think you would enjoy it? Is there one teacher that you remember really well from school?
Our Magazine is written by young people from the UK. Each year we select a new group of bloggers, from the British Council’s language assistants, who share their experiences of learning languages and living abroad. The views and opinions expressed in the articles are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the LearnEnglish Teens team.

What are young British people like these days? What are they into? What do they do at school and in their free time? Where do they live and which languages do they speak? What do they eat? What do they wear? To answer these questions from our students, we need to know about current British culture.
Why bring UK culture into the teen classroom?
We can introduce UK culture into the English classroom to help our students improve their English and at the same time learn about values and ways of doing things which may be different to theirs. Learning about life and culture in the UK can be very motivating as it brings the language alive for learners and creates a link between language and real life. See if you agree with these comments from teachers on teaching UK culture to their teenage learners:
‘We need to avoid reinforcing erroneous British stereotypes to our teenagers. Not everyone in the UK is very formal and drinks tea at five o’clock!’
‘Culture is the fifth skill in addition to reading, writing, listening and speaking. It’s something you need to know about if you’re going to study or work in Britain. Of course the same principles apply if you are talking about Australia, Ireland, the USA or any other English speaking country.’
‘I try to make British culture "real" to my students. It makes learning English more fun for them.’
What materials can I use to introduce UK culture?
LearnEnglish Teens's UK Now section has texts and videos with a UK focus specifically for teenagers. In particular Read UK and Video UK provide learners and teachers with reading and listening materials that contain up-to-date information on the UK, challenge old stereotypes, and are very much in touch with how daily life is for young British people today. 
Using Read UK and Video UK with your learners
Here are some ideas for ways to use the texts, videos and activities in the Life in the UK and Video UK sections in class and for homework.
Learning the language doesn’t automatically mean learning the culture. Bringing culture to the teen classroom can be fun, motivating and help to develop the intercultural skills that will serve teens in adult life.
