How teenagers feel about their school

Task 2. You are going to take part in a telephone survey. You have to answer six questions. Give full answers to the questions.

It’s an electronic assistant of the teen web.

We kindly ask you to take part in our survey.

We need to find out how teenagers feel about school holidays.

Please answer 6 questions. The survey is anonymous – you don’t have to give your name.

So, let’s get started.

What grade are you in?

I’m in the 9 th grade.

How many school holidays do you have?

There are 4 school holidays. We have school holidays every season.

What school holidays do you like best of all?

I love my summer holidays most of all. We have almost 3 months for the things we love to do.

Why do most teenagers enjoy school holidays so much?

Most teenagers enjoy school holidays because during a busy school year it’s difficult to find time for our hobbies. Also, we need some time to do nothing.

What do you usually do during your summer holidays?

I go to the camp for two weeks every summer. Also, we often travel during my summer holidays.

Do you think it is a good idea for a teenager to take a part-time job during the summer holidays? Why?

I think it’s not a very good idea to do part-time job during summer holidays. Teenagers want to have a rest and to enjoy their free time. Holidays are for pleasure but not for work when you’re a teenager.

Hello, it’s the electronic assistant of the education council. We kindly ask you to take part in our survey. We need to find out how teenagers feel about their school. Please answer 6 questions. The survey is anonymous. You don’t have to give your name. So, let’s get started.

– How many lessons do you usually have?

Ответ: I usually have six lessons a day. But on Tuesday I have an extra English lesson to prepare for the exam.

– What subject do you find the most difficult?

Ответ: I find mathematics the most difficult subject because I often get confused with so many formulae. And frankly speaking, I lack motivation for this subject because I don’t relate my future career to mathematics.

– What is your favourite weekday? Why do you like it?

Ответ: Well, my favourite weekday is Sunday. I like it because there is no school on this day. Sometimes, my friends and I have parties on Sunday, or we go to the cinema or theatre.

– What sport facilities do you have in your school?

Ответ: We have a number of sport facilities in our school: a swimming pool, a gym. There is also an athletic field near the school. The junior schoolchildren enjoy swimming in the pool most of all, while the senior schoolchildren like working out with weights in the gym.

– Do you think school uniform is necessary, or not. Why do you think so?

Ответ: As for me, I think school uniform is necessary because it makes schoolchildren more disciplined and focused on the study. If schoolchildren are allowed to wear whatever they want, they put on ripped jeans, T-shirts of different colors and what not. It is like they come to school to have a ball, but not to learn.

– What would you recommend your friends do to improve their English?

Ответ: I would recommend them to watch English lessons made by native speakers on youtube. They are very exciting and easy to understand. In addition to it, I would recommend my friends to read English books, because reading makes your vocabulary richer.

This is the end of the survey. Thank you very much for your help.

How Teenagers Feel About Learning

How Teenagers Feel About Learning

How is your teenager going at school? Do they look forward to going to school and enjoy the challenge of academic learning? Or are they a less than enthusiastic student?

With a new school year starting in northern hemisphere, and southern hemisphere kids heading back for the second half of their academic year it seems timely to consider an often overlooked aspect of learning.

When considering academic performance a lot of parents rightly focus on finding the best school, establishing good home study habits, monitoring grades, providing tutoring if necessary, and identifying preferred learning styles.

However, one of the most significant impacts on how adolescents learn is often overlooked; their feelings!

That’s right, the way your teenager feels and their emotional state can have a far bigger impact on their academic performance than the quality of the school or the hours of homework they do.

This is the first of two posts on how your teen’s emotional health affects their ability to learn and how parents can help their teen improve their emotional intelligence.

The Feelings Factor

Emotions function like the on/off switch for learning.

Students learn more and perform better when they feel safe, happy, and are energized about the topic.

According to learning expert and child psychologist Dr. Maurice Elias, emotional well-being is “predictive not only of academic achievement, but also of satisfactory and productive experiences in the world of work and marriage, even of better physical health.”

The converse is also true. When students feel angry, stressed or sad they are less likely to learn because their mental energy is expended focusing on the cause of their negative emotions. “Children in class who are beset by an array of confused or hurtful feelings cannot and will not learn effectively” says Dr. Elias.

Students who are stressed have significantly reduced capacity to take in information. The emotional brain, known as the limbic system, has the power to open or close access to learning and memory. If a teenager is feeling anxious in the classroom, they are unlikely to remember any of the subject matter presented. As education expert Priscilla Vail explains if the limbic system senses trouble, ‘access shuts down’ to the parts of the brain responsible for higher order through and learning.

As parents, you can help improve your teen’s capacity to learn by doing what you can to put them in the best possible emotional space. You can improve your teen’s emotional life by focusing on the “3 E’s” of emotional nurture; eliminate, educate, and encourage.

Eliminate

By reducing the number of situations generating negative emotions for teens is the first and most obvious means of setting them up emotionally to learn.

Some of the more common sources of stress and anxiety for teens include:

In The Classroom

In The Schoolyard

In The Home

Obviously, the place you have the most control over is the amount of stress in the family home. The more you can do as a parent to create a healthy and harmonious home environment the easier you will make it for your teenager to get the most out of their schooling.

If your teenager is in danger of being physically or emotionally harmed then the first priority is to remove them from this danger.

Be proactive about modeling constructive conflict resolution methods both with your teenager and other relationships in the house.

If there are significant changes happening at home, make an extra effort to watch for changes in your teen’s behaviour. Go out of your way to try and connect with your teen more often with the intent of finding out how they are handling the changes.

Sometimes life doesn’t go the way we hope and life at home can get a bit messy. You may not always be able to control or clean up the mess straight away but it helps if you can communicate to your teenager clearly what is happening and give them the chance to express to you how they feel about events.

In relation to stressful events happening in the classroom or the schoolyard, you probably won’t have quite as much control. Many parents struggle to find out anything from their teen about school, never mind what is emotionally stressful.

Monitor you teen’s grades. If you notice significant drop in performance discuss with your teen what is happening in the classroom.

Don’t hesitate to contact your teenager’s teachers to discuss any concerns or questions you might have. Working with teachers to develop a holistic approach to your teen’s learning is a great way to boost your teenager’s education journey.

Teenagers are always going to have their ups and downs with friends. It is important for parents to try and discern the difference between the every day spats and disagreements of adolescence, and the ongoing more serious conflicts and fallouts.

Educate

Helping teen’s achieve at school requires them developing their emotional intelligence as well as their cognitive intelligence. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) relates to a person’s ability to understand and manage their emotions, motivations and desires, and their awareness of the feelings and behavioural cues of others.

It is widely accepted there are 5 basic competencies associated with emotional intelligence:

Daniel Goleman first articulated these five competencies in the book Emotional Intelligence. Goleman explains that each of these competencies is a skill that can be learnt by anybody.

In the next post we will look at what parents can do to build up their teen’s emotional intelligence through Education and Encouragement at home.

Until then have a read through the 5 competencies of emotional intelligence and consider how strong your teen’s “EQ” might be.
