Here are some ideas to help you when rearranging furniture inthe classroom to change the layout:
i. Learners agree to do all the rearrangement completely silently bypicking up furniture, rather than dragging or pulling.

Final Tips for Teaching AdolescentLearners
Tip Number 1: Develop strong rapport straight away (learn names, let them
choose their own music while doing a reading or writing activity, speak to them
as a person and put them on the same level of you).
Tip Number 2: Plan lessons based on their interests. Talk to them about what
they enjoy: the things that they like to talk about, music they like, their hobbies,etc. Let them do things that they enjoy.
Tip Number 3: Be empathetic. Dont tell them off in front of their peers, instead
show your disapproval by drawing a sad face on the board or creating a quick
sign such as Great Spanish! and stare at them with little emotion and then
smile when they recognise your presence.
Tip Number 4: Be yourself as a person and do not act as a teacher. You are thereto work with your students and guide them.
