If students are NOT interested...Please, help!

Hello, everyone!

I have a friend who teaches English language in one Romanian school. She says it is a challenge because her students are not interested in the language. They do not have access to the Internet, do not watch movies (what's pity because it could solve a problem in some way because there are lots of opportunities on-line) and do not want to make any efforts.

The situation is quite difficult because she is a school teacher. She likes her job and of course wants to see that her subject interests her students…

What do you think she can do??

I would appreciate all opinions.
So please feel free to say what you think about the situation.

thank you in advance!<!- google_ad_section_end ->

I think she should be patient with them,you know,Rome wasn’t built in a day

dear julia.

i think i have an idea i wish it can benifit you,

she can make 2hours just for speaking with tham about this subject wish you posted here

about there problems famillal or personal problems what ever it is,why they don' interested to learning this language,the other hand she can teachs tham in the way they can accepted the lesson easly and the same time they will enjoy with it.i wish i can help you.and take care of youself teaching is a difficult job just be pation and god hepl you

it's good think that you are ask this question for student

ok … but I wanna know , she teaching reding and writing or listening and speaking ??

second .. my advice to him .. that she try to use an Elctronic learning … the student want to see the refresh in the methods and way on the learning .. ( for example .. one time , bring to them a movie , or there are some English lessons on the youtube teacher called Mr. Duncan .. he is really fanny and very good techer )

in the end .. I hope her student will intersting with she and with her subject :)

i think the teacher should be patient with them…....and use some intersting subjets that they like to read.and find out what are the intersting subjects?when the teacher see any positive movement,encourge them and give present .i think the teaching is not just teach,the teacher should pay attention to many things like behaviour students listening to them,solve their problem ,and to be friend whit them….and other things.use many method in teaching

The kind – > she teaches everything, all the language skills: writing, reading, speaking and listening.

Thank you very much guys for all of your replies!

all of them are really helpful!

i am glad you answered :) 

I think she should show video clips in english.  Maybe comical ones.  Something which grabs their attention and makes them take interest in what's being spoken.

我不得不承认我的英语很差。学习英语让我很痛苦。老师讲的我总是听不懂。作业也做不来。上课也不敢发言，生怕出错让同学笑话。

后来老师给我讲，学习英语是一个长期的过程。我承认了这一点，可是每次遇到困难我总想放弃，总是坚持不下去，这让我很头痛。我希望有朋友可帮助一下哦。我会很感激的。
