This is a brief description of my Monograph based on lack of Motivation of Teenagers

1. Guillermo Sánchez

2.  The most difficult population to teach is the
teenagers. They are not really motivated to
learn anything including English; in this
specific case I would only be focused on the
lack of motivation students might have
studying English. Some reasons could be the
class content and the personal issues
students could have.

3.  Some teens just found this class the most
difficult one they could ever had, or
sometimes they found this class:
 The most boring (topics)
 The most difficult
 Another reason is that they have another
activities besides English, so they decide
what is more important to them.

4.  General
The general objective is to describe through
my experience how I worked with teenagers
who were not motivated to learn English at
Harmon Hall.

5.  Particular Objectives
 To show how I dealt with the lack of
motivation in teenagers.
 To describe the results obtained from the
techniques used with the teenagers
 To share the experiences I had with particular
students and also the moments my
techniques did not work so future teachers
learn from them and modify them so their
techniques work.

6.  What strategies did I use when having the
lack of motivation and lack of interest from
teens when learning English at Harmon Hall
Chetumal?
 Were these strategies helpful for teenagers
studying at HH Chetumal?

7.  The reason of doing this monograph is
helping future teachers deal with teenagers.
 Describe how I worked with teenagers who
did not liked english before
 Share my experience in Harmon Hall.

8.  I described the school Iworked and gained
experience as a teacher , the framework
covers:
 Harmon Hall
 The method of Harmon Hall
 Teachers
 Books used in class
 Material and Grading Crateria

9.  The Natural Approach: Talking only in the target language made students
feel interested.
 Multimedia Learning: They liked the visual aids I used with their favorite
cartoons and stars.
 Community Language Learning: Working on groups motivated to work.
 Realia: not a theory but worked as I used real stuff to teach
 Experiencial Learning: Students learned better when we act out some
scenarios of the real life so they face the real world in a way.
 Game Theory: playing games in class with a purpose is important and
motivate students more and more.
