In this vlog post for Pavilion ELT, Damien Herlihy finishes exploring Pavilion’s ETpedia Series. In 2024, the series celebrated its 10th anniversary, so each of Damien’s vlogs has looked in more detail at one book from the series. From there, Damien has zoomed in to focus in more detail on a list of 10 ideas, and has related them to his own classroom experiences.

Some games make teenage students’ eyes light up, whereas others can be met with eye-rolling. So how do you choose which ones to use? In this episode, Damien looks at ETpedia Teenagers. This book covers everything you need to know about teaching, managing and engaging teenagers. Here, he explores how you can pick the right game each time, to get the most out of your teenage students.

We would love to know your experiences with exploring games with your teenage students, as well as hearing how this post has made you reflect on your own teaching and/or which ideas you have found most useful. Do let us know in the comments under the vlog or below our shares on the Pavilion ELT social media.
