songs in class
I tried the 5 am song exercise (see previous post) with a few other classes and it got really good results with most of the students. Some of them really opened up. To make things a little more interesting I divided the class into two groups “she” and “he” and told the “she” that they had been pregnant and that “he” is now a father!!!! They then have to decide what to do.

I'm glad it worked this time - you gave them something interesting to think. I imagine you teach young adults. I hope you continue with the great ideas!
That way it goes with teaching i guess, sometimes you have a great idea which works well. But no idea will work for everyone. (That's why I'm suspicious of any school that claims to have a super secret "method" that guarantees success.
You're right about the students, most of them are studying at university which makes things easier in some ways (no sceptical parents for a start). However, most of my private lessons are with teenagers.
